The UConn School of Business is welcoming two distinguished veteran faculty members this fall, including an accounting expert from Yale and a marketing professor who studies innovation.

When Elizabeth “Lizzie” Turner ’18 applied for a full scholarship to attend UConn and enroll in the Honors Program, interviewers asked her why they should admit her. “My answer was something along of the lines of, ‘Because when you google my name in 20 or 30 years, next to the company that I will run or whatever impact I will have on this world, will be that I am a graduate of the University of Connecticut. That I am a UConn Husky.'” “And that, ladies and gentlemen, will be true of many in the Class of 2018. What do you want Google to say about you?'” Turner asked in the keynote speech for the Honors Medal Ceremony prior to graduation.

Live the life of your dreams, commencement speaker and alumna Kathleen A. Murphy '87 JD told almost 700 ecstatic undergraduate business students, their family, and friends, during the School of Business commencement ceremony Sunday, May 6.

The School's premier event celebrates and honors top UConn alumni who are outstanding business leaders by inducting them into the Hall of Fame. But the evening also offers an opportunity for local and global business leaders to exchange ideas, network, and enjoy camaraderie with more than 300 guests, all business champions.

The School of Business recently honored some of its top faculty members for 2018, celebrating their achievements from the classroom to international research discoveries.
