THE EVOLUTION OF ABUSINESS EDUCATION:COLLEGE REACHE S 50 YEARSThe College of Business at ColoradoState University has experiencedmore than its share of transforma tions since the Colorado Agricultural Collegefirst offered “business” courses in 1944.Those courses – accounting, shorthand,and typewriting – were essentially for womenlooking to become secretaries. Seventy-twoyears later, as the official College of Businesscelebrates 50 years, a woman – Beth Walker– is the first dean.“Clearly, the opportunities for womenacross our society have transformed since the1950s, and the advancements in the College2COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITYB YK E L LYK .S E R R A N Oof Business are a reflection of that,” says CSUPresident Tony Frank. “Women have been aforce in the business world since the begin ning of time and, over the last half century,we’ve seen marked shifts in both corporateand academic culture that recognize that.“(But) we didn’t hire Beth because she’s awoman; we hired her because she’s the bestperson for the job and has the energy andknowledge to ensure our top-ranked Col lege of Business remains competitive in anincreasingly complex and crowded academicmarketplace,” he adds.From courses to collegeThe evolution from secretarial courses to abusiness college was a slow one: ColoradoCollege of Agricultural and Mechanical Arts,which it was known as at the time, put a formaltwo-year secretarial accreditation in placein 1950, but it would not offer a bachelor’sdegree in business for another six years.Colorado A&M formed its School of Businesstwo years later, but the College of Businesswasn’t established for another eight years —in 1966, long after the transition to a Universityin 1957 – under the direction of PresidentWilliam Morgan.
Not only has the college made strides ingender equality and respect, but also in thequality of its programs. Today it’s one of thetop-ranked undergraduate and graduate programs in the country, regularly listed amongthe nation’s top 100 business colleges.The college has approximately 67 tenuredfaculty and 35 special appointment facultyin five departments and six institutes/associated centers. It is AACSB-accredited at theundergraduate and graduate levels, servingapproximately 2,200 resident undergraduatebusiness majors, 1,800 resident undergradu ate business minors, and more than 200 resi dent graduate students, as well as approxi mately 1,100 graduate students enrolled in theOnline Professional MBA and Online Master ofComputer Information Systems, and ExecutiveMBA programs.THE DEANS LISTDon Dobler, 1966-1986The College of Business would not havelasted 50 years – much less earned respectnationally and internationally – had it not beenfor a short but notable list of deans, startingwith Don Dobler.It was no small task for the 1950 CSUgraduate to take the reins of the new collegein the mid-1960s. Not only did he have tocontend with the social issues of the period– anti-establishment sentiments, the women’smovement, civil rights conflicts, the perceivedcorruption of big business, the Vietnam War,and much more – but also with the fact manyprofessionals believed business coursesbelonged at vocational schools or communitycolleges.“It was terrible,” Dobler said in a 2013interview, calling it a period of “turbulence anduncertainty. It was not a good time to start abusiness school.”But he and a dozen faculty members tookon the challenge, building the college on thefoundation that business, carried out with integrity and skill, can solve complex problemsand change the world. It’s a foundation thatremains in place today.During his tenure, Dobler helped developthe college’s distance MBA program, the firstof its kind in the country, and kept his hand inthe professional world by serving as editor ofan industry journal and as the corporate vicepresident of the Institute for Supply Management.Dobler, who earned a Bachelor of Sciencedegree in mechanical engineering from CSU,COLLEGE OF BUSINESS THE DIFFERENCE3
D OB L E RP E G N ET TE Rthen an MBA and a Ph.D. in management fromStanford University, passed away Dec. 8, 2015.“Don was very thoughtful and a confidencebuilder,” said Sophia Aldrich, who served asdirector of development for 11 years, startingin the mid-1980s. “He was very passionateabout turning a secretarial curriculum intoa full-fledged college of business. All of hisexperience gave him a broader view of theworld and what the curriculum should be. Healways made sure the college was on the cut ting edge.”Richard Pegnetter, 1986-1996While Dobler’s vision created a credible col lege of business, his successor, Dean RichardPegnetter, helped the college earn fundingand respect beyond Fort Collins by encourag ing faculty to engage in academic research,said John Weiss, former director of GraduatePrograms Recruiting and 30-year employee ofthe college.“Pegnetter came in, saw that other busi ness colleges gaining attention and notorietywere known for their research, and knew weneeded to pick up the pace as far as aca demic research,” he said. “He understood thatwhen we looked at new faculty, we neededto look for research as a priority over teach ing. He really began to turn the college notonly into a premier teaching institution, but apremier research institution as well.”Pegnetter is also remembered for findingthe college a home. While it was housed inthe B-wing of the Clark Building, the college4COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITYCOSTELLOMENONwas difficult for students to find, had no roomfor growth, lacked meeting space for studentclubs, and forced courses to be spread outacross campus. Pegnetter’s efforts resulted inRockwell Hall becoming its headquarters in1995.Dan Costello, 1996-2002The college’s third dean, Dan Costello, tookthe college into the 21st century.Costello recognized that technology wasimperative in instruction and in graduates’ability to market themselves. He encouragedfaculty to embrace technology as well as lob bied for changes such as desks with personalcomputers for direct access to instructionalservices.Costello also continued Pegnetter’s em phasis on research publication for faculty, put ting the college on the map. He also requirednew hires for tenure-track positions to have aproven research history and was instrumen tal in getting the still-flourishing online MBAprogram off the ground.Ajay Menon, 2002-2015While he is quick to pass the praise on toothers, it was Ajay Menon – and his unyield ing belief that students come first and peoplemake a difference – whom many credit for thesuccess and accolades the college attainedduring his 13 years on the job.“Our mission, we say, is we are in thebusiness of transforming lives,” Menon said.“Business can make a difference. BusinessWAL K E Rand private enterprise are the solutions to thehuman challenges of our time.”He demonstrated that belief by developingentrepreneurs and bringing experts togetherto address issues such as human traffickingand social justice in third-world countries.Menon also served as the first Chief Innova tion Officer of the State of Colorado underGov. John Hickenlooper.“He knew the people to go to, to get thatexpertise, and he had the ability to bring themtogether to bring resolution to the problem,”said John Olyienyk, who served as seniorassociate dean to Menon.Under Menon’s leadership the collegeattained a No. 1 ranking among Colorado’spublic undergraduate business schools byBusinessweek, and a No. 4 ranking on ThePrinceton Review’s list of 10 Best AdministeredBusiness Schools. But Menon attributed thecollege’s consistently high rankings to “the in tellectual curiosity, creativity, enthusiasm, andhard work of faculty, staff, and students.”After Menon was appointed dean, 90percent of the college’s graduates were ableto secure jobs or other placements within 90days of commencement; graduate enrollmentgrew 116 percent; the level of private fundingfor the college went from less than 230,000annually in 2002 to an average of 2.5 millionper year up to 2006; and the student bodyraised more than 1 million to help fund theconstruction of Rockwell Hall West.“The college community brought thewisdom and talent; I’ve simply removed the
obstacles, opened avenues, and channeledefforts in positive directions,” Menon said ofhis tenure.Beth Walker, 2015-presentIt’s as if the college had come full circle whenWalker was appointed dean in 2015. Sheplaces a priority on research with importantimplications for business practice and collaborating with business partners, on whichshe has written many award-winning articles.In her previous position at Arizona State Uni versity she served as chair of the marketingdepartment, overseeing 27 full-time faculty,winning accolades for her teaching, and serv ing as faculty director of the evening MBA pro gram and associate dean for MBA programs.“Beth’s academic background, commitment to research with a strong industry focus,and her outstanding experience in growingone of the top executive MBA programs in thecountry were all strong factors in her favor,”President Frank said. “She also brought thevision and commitment to collaboration, di versity, and innovation that we believed wereneeded to lead an already very successfulcollege forward to new heights.”Walker says the best ideas come fromcollaborating with others “to create a visionand then engage the broader organization toexecute the vision. I truly enjoy working withthe faculty, students, and business partners.”The next 50 yearsWith a half-century-strong foundation in place,Walker sees her job as continuing and improving on the access, excellence, and impactthe college has had as it begins the next 50years by adapting to the nuances of the nextgeneration, she said.“We know that we have to approach theMillennial Generation differently in deliveringthat education,” Walker said. “I think our faculty evolve and use new learning techniquesand are more interactive.”She also believes the future is about building cross-disciplinary skill sets, and that manystudents in the sciences, such as engineeringand fermentation, will find careers in business.“When you have that combination withbusiness, you just enhanced your value proposition to employers,” Walker explained. “Wecan be different and unique by leveraging theplace and the programs that are exceptional.”Frank said the college’s future is also dependent on continuing to build a culture andclimate that encourage women with a passionfor business to enroll and succeed at CSU.With women making up only 38 percent of theCollege of Business’s undergraduates, “westill have a long way to go.”“Colorado State University is committedto being the best university in the country forwomen to work and learn, and that meansthat we expect to have strong, talented, andinclusive women and men helping to lead theUniversity in the senior academic and adminis trative ranks,” he said.But there’s no doubt that the College ofBusiness has come a long way since its secre tarial beginnings.The Everitts: Longtime SupportersWhen Don Dobler needed to get the busi ness community involved financially aswell as academically with the college, helooked for “somebody who was compas sionate enough and cared enough aboutthe students so that they would really workgenuinely with the students and help themget through the program,” he said.He was also seeking someone withpractical experience to help produce thehigh-quality, analytical, and rigorous coursesthat would interest the students.That’s why Dobler called Bob and JoyceEveritt, owners of a lumber company whoseinterests would eventually expand to includeresidential and commercial real estatedevelopment and home building throughoutColorado and several neighboring states.“They asked me, and I didn’t turn themdown,” Bob Everitt said before his deathin 2016. “I kind of looked at it (as a way) toget exposure to the business school, to letpeople know what a great place it was, thegreat students they were turning out.”Former director of development SophiaAldrich said Everitt sincerely believed in thecollege. “Bob would really speak up aboutthe quality of the College of Business. Hespoke with such passion and commitment tothe college.”The Everitts not only gave to and helpedraise hundreds of thousands of dollars forprogram development and scholarships, butthey also lent their reputation and exper tise; developed the Center for AdvancedTechnology with the CSU Research Founda tion; endowed the Everitt Real Estate Center;and started the college’s student-investmentfund.“You give because you love something,”Bob Everitt said of why he and his wife sup ported CSU.COLLEGE OF BUSINESS THE DIFFERENCE5
Smiths’ 5 million gift hasTRANSFORMATIVE POWERB YK E L LYA N DC A R AK .S E R R A N ON E T HWhen the College of Business sends its graduates outinto the world, it is with the hope that they will not onlydo well, but also make a difference.Occasionally – as in the case of Michael Smith – asmall portion of the impact its former students has is ontheir alma mater.As part of a 13 million gift to Colorado State Univer sity, alumnus Smith and his wife, Iris, have allocated agenerous 5 million for the College of Business.“We are grateful for the time and attention MichaelSmith already has shared with our students, who arejust in awe of his achievements and insight,” College ofBusiness Dean Beth Walker said. “This gift is anotheroutstanding demonstration of his leadership and com mitment to investing in the next generation of businessprofessionals.”A CSU chemistry major with a minor in mathematics,Smith attended CSU in the 1970s. He has been exten sively involved with CSU in many ways over the years,including co-founding the Development Council andsupporting Ram Athletics. The University recognizedSmith’s achievements and influence with an HonoraryDoctorate of Humane Letters in 2008.While Smith is the chairman and chief executive ofFreeport LNG in Texas, he has many business and com munity affiliations throughout Colorado and a long his tory of philanthropic involvement here. Prior to Freeport,Smith was the chairman and chief executive of Basin Ex ploration, a Colorado-based E&P company he foundedin 1981 in Fort Collins and sold to Stone Energy in 2001.“I owe much of my success to the education I re ceived at CSU and the combination of strong scienceand mathematics that enabled me to learn the oil andgas business,” Smith said. “My career has been builtaround the opportunity this country’s energy businesshas spawned, and I hope my gifts help CSU to continue6COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITYproviding a premier education to generations of geolo gists, chemists, and business leaders.”Per Smith’s desires, the college will use the 5 mil lion gift to create 50 full-tuition scholarships in honor ofits 50th anniversary – 13 endowed Michael Smith EliteBusiness Scholars awards and 37 Michael Smith 50thAnniversary Scholarship awards.Walker pointed out that the Smiths’ gift is the greatestsingle gift the college has ever received, but it will havethe biggest impact on the 50 students who can now ful fill their dreams of attending CSU and earning businessdegrees.“These are students who may not have been able toattend CSU otherwise, although they surely have earnedit by the hard work, tenacity, and accomplishments theyhave demonstrated thus far,” she said. “Because of Mr.and Mrs. Smith’s generosity, they will not only experi ence what it means to be a Ram, but know that someonebelieves deeply in them, their potential, and their goals,and is willing to help them achieve them.“This gift will transform their lives.”
DIFFERENCE MAKERSHonoring the early vanguards of the collegeWhile each person who has studied, taught or worked at the College of Businesshas had an impact on its legacy, we would not be where we are today withoutthe vision and efforts of these key individuals.DOBLERDon DoblerFirst dean of the collegeOur college’s first dean took the reins amidstthe social complexities of the 1960s and at atime when business in academia meant littlemore than typing and transcription.

He was 88.Sophia Lei AldrichCatalyst for the collegeWhen Sophia Aldrich started as the first direc tor of development, the College of Businesswas almost 20 years old but still in its infancyin many ways. Her trailblazing helped the col-AL D RI CHlege grow past its brick-and-mortar structureinto an institution with connections in the com munity, state and nation. She and Don Doblerworked as a team to bring in the industrypartners that have propelled the College ofBusiness to its current status. And she’s stillhelping the college grow today.Sophia helped the first dean of the college,and community business leader Bob Everitt ofEveritt Companies raise more than 600,000for programs and scholarships.
