Reflecting Back
1997A substantial gift from Eugene and Ronnie Isenberg names the School of Management in Gene's honor.
Moving ForwardIsenberg’s Business Innovation Hub, slated to open in the spring of 2019, elevates our students' educational experience—helping take their coursework and their professional opportunities to the next level. The $62 million student-centric design adds 70,000 square feet of modernized classrooms and labs to promote experiential learning, and an expanded career center with additional interview spaces. The project also includes a 5,000-square-foot, light-filled learning commons that will also serve as an event center to facilitate interactions with business leaders and alumni.
With over 3,600 undergraduate students (1,000 more than ten years ago), the building is equal parts practical and flexible, designed to accommodate Isen-berg’s growing student body and execu-tive-in-residence programs. The unique opportunity pairs Boston architecture firm Goody Clancy and Bjarke Ingels Group of New York and Denmark to complete a renovation and addition to Isenberg’s complex at the center of the University of Massachusetts Amherst campus.

MBA fellow Julian Lustig worked with the
Berthiaume Center to forge
ties between the region’s investors and entrepre-neurs, many of them campus based. Through the university’s new Institute for Applied Life Sciences (IALS), Julian focused on finance, including his interests in venture capital and socially responsible investments.
In September 2016, he founded the Venture Consulting Club, an entrepreneurial gathering node for Five College students who invest their eclectic skills in local startups, many of whom receive resources from the Berthiaume Center, Valley Venture Mentors, and other business catalysts.
Julian will continue working with entrepreneurs in his full-time position with Kirschbaum Devel-opment Group, a fast-growing company specializing in web app development and software solu-tions for business. He attributes his success to professors at the Berthiaume Center who “have all been terrific mentors.”

Faculty Highlights PROGRAM INNOVATION
Businesses are speaking up, ask-ing for graduates who understand how to employ data and analytics. Isenberg is listening, launching “Big Data” curricula that prepare students to harness data for opti-mal decision making.
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN BUSINESS & ANALYTICS (MSB&A)This accelerated program, introduced this year, provides graduates of non-business majors with the business analytics tools and techniques that are increasingly necessary to be effective in organizations of all kinds.
OPERATIONS & INFORMATION MANAGEMENT LABThe OIM Solutions Lab, generously donated by OIM alumni, is a team-based, high-technology classroom that enhances course con-tent, student learning, and career preparation.
GRADUATE CERTIFICATE IN BUSINESS ANALYTICSWith this online certificate, working professionals deepen their ability to make sound data-based and judgment decisions.
Research at Isenberg advances knowledge in seven academic disciplines and brings innovation to industry.
HRISTOPHER AGOGLIA Isenberg’s accounting faculty ranks #1 in the nation in research investigating judgment and decision making by auditors. A leader and cutting-edge researcher in this domain is Richard H. Simpson Endowed Professor Christopher Agoglia. This summer, Professor Agoglia becomes senior editor of the top American Account-ing Association section journal, Auditing: A Journal ofPractice & Theory.
ILA GETMANSKY SHERMAN Isenberg Finance Professor Mila Getmansky Sherman and two coauthors have received the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Institute’s premier honor—the 2016 Graham and Dodd Award for Excellence. The award was for their Financial Analysts Journalarticle, “Interconnectedness of the CDS Market,” which deployed a network perspective in exploring interconnectedness between dealers and nondealers in the credit-default swaps market.
LBERT ASSAF Studies measuring hotel performance have accen-tuated the positive while neglecting the negative, notes Hospitality & Tourism Management Professor and PhD coordinator Albert Assaf. That is a key conclusion in his “Why Negative Outputs Are Often Ignored: A Compre-hensive Measure of Hotel Performance,” which appeared in the journal Tourism Economics and won the prestigiousThea Sinclair Award for Journal Article Excellence.
TEVE MCKELVEY Steve McKelvey, a professor in Isenberg’ s Mark H. McCor-mack Department of Sport Management, is this year’s Betty van der Smissen Leadership Award honoree.

EORGE MILNEPhD Director George Milne, whose research spans information privacy, consum-er behavior, public policy, and a wealth of other topics, was this year’s Isenberg Research Award recipient.Professor Milne’s recent publications investigated factors that contribute to Facebook brand content popularity and the impact of quantified personal “self-data” on a consumer’s motivation. Professor Milne has energized Isenberg’s PhD program, which graduated a record 18 students in May.
NNA NAGURNEY John F. Smith Memorial Professor of Operations Management Anna Nagurney has received an award for Distinguished Service from INFORMS, the largestsociety for professionals in operations research, manage-ment science, and analytics. Professor Nagurney, who is internationally celebrated for her research on the interaction of transportation, communications, financial, and other networks, is long-time faculty advisor to UMass Amherst’s award-winning student chapter of INFORMS.
IRTON COWDEN Birton Cowden, director of new ventures at Isenberg’s Berthiaume Center for Entrepreneur-ship, has received an award for Excellence in Entrepreneurship Education Innovation from theUnited States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship. The honor recognizes Cowden’s prowess in conducting “SOLD!,” an entrepreneurial sales skills “boot camp” for students.

UNDERGRAD PROFILE
Hailey Cockrum By the time Hailey Cockrum ’17 graduated as
an Operations & Information Management (OIM) major this spring, she had several full-
time job offers on the table. She passed them all up. Instead, she skyrocketed to SpaceX.
SpaceX (Space Exploration Technologies Corporation) is Elon Musk’s latest venture.
Based in Hawthorne, California, the company builds rockets, rocket engines, spacecraft, avionics, and accompanying software. Its
rockets deliver payloads into the Earth’s orbit, including supplies to NASA’s International
Space Station.
Hailey, who completed Isenberg’s Supply Chain Management track, will join SpaceX in
an intern-to-hire role as a materials planner. Additional hands-on internships at Pratt &
Whitney also helped her earn the spot. “As an OIM major, I couldn’t have had a better
learning experience,” she says. “I wasn’t just taught; I really learned.”
Hailey says she grew intellectually and professionally
from a rich mix of courses taught by professors whom she describes as mentors, including Professor Traci Hess. "She was
my advisor. I will always look up to her as a role model."

Isenberg has long been recog-nized as one of the top-ranked MBA programs in the nation.
This year, The Financial Times ranked Isenberg’s Online MBA program #1 in the U.S. and #3 in the world. The Online MBA program ranked second for increase in salary after earning an MBA, with a 43 percent increase.
Isenberg’s MBA program—both Full-time and Online—offers an expan-sive course of study, including business analytics, finance, healthcare
Stephanie HoltMarketing & Sales Operations,
Cisco CloudLock
With $140,000 in undergraduate loans, Steph-anie Holt thought grad school was out of the question. Isenberg’s fellowship changed every-thing, allowing Stephanie to earn a full-time MBA without saddling on more school debt. Since graduating from Isenberg, she jumped from a management position at Sherwin-Williams to a startup that Cisco recently acquired—leading to a 40-percent salary bump. Stephanie credits Isen-berg with imparting the skills that got her there.
“I knew that if I wanted to move to the next level, I needed an MBA,” Stephanie says. “I’d advise anyone to go for what they truly believe in, because it will pay off.”
To earn her MBA, Stephanie commuted four days every week from Boston, and she says the drive time was worth it. Ambitious and innately curious, Holt says she’s eyeing her next certifi-cation and “the next big thing I want to learn.”
Dr. Andrew Norden Deputy Chief Health Officer
IBM Watson Health
In college and medical school, Dr. Andrew Norden took virtu-ally no business classes, yet he discover that his position as an associate chief medical officer for Dana-Farber Medical School demanded business knowledge. He enrolled in Isenberg’s online MBA, taking one course at a time over four years.
“There were key business disciplines that I wasn’t knowl-edgeable about, with respect to things like operations and quality improvement, marketing, and finance,” he said.
Dr. Norden now works as the deputy chief health officer at IBM Watson Health, where he helps physicians with knowledge overload, particularly in genom-ics and oncology. He says there’s been an uptick in the number of doctors now earning MBAs. “Doctors recognize that an MBA offers useful skills that many of us lack,” he said. “There’s a real rec-ognition these skills matter first. I treated this as a key step in my professional development.”

DRIVEN TO GIVE | 1817 | DRIVEN TO GIVE
The class of 2017 is breaking philanthropy records in the Senior Gift Challenge, giving at a rate that far exceeded their goal. Isenberg is successfully tapping seniors to think about giving back while they're still on campus, increasing young alumni donations and engagement.
THIS YEAR'S CHALLENGE This year, Dean Fuller raised the bar for the class of 2017: to have 50% of seniors donate to the senior gift. The Dean and other alumni also offered a series of challenge gifts, providing additional
monetary incentives for the senior class if they met, and then exceeded, the 50% goal. The seniors blew away the challenge with nearly 70% contribution to the senior class gift! This outstanding accomplishment will be commemorated with an announcement in the Boston Globe.
ALUMNI GIVING Isenberg seniors are not alone in giving back. Alumni and friends have enabled the school to add five endowed professor positions in the past twelve months alone.
Driven to GiveBUILDING A CULTURE OF GIVING
Dean Fuller challenged the 2016 senior class to a 30% participation rate in the Senior Gift Challenge, vowing to shave an “I” in the back of his head if they met the challenge. The seniors rallied around the goal, and Dean Fuller attended graduation with a new haircut.
LAST YEAR’S CHALLENGE
I'm driven to give because many Isenberg alumni have played a role in helping me succeed and have carried me on their backs. Now it's my turn!"
