    From the Dean

    Michigan Tech is not the biggest school around. Houghton is not a major city. And the Academic Office Building is not a sprawling structure. But size isn’t what you need to make the biggest impact. In this issue we see the benefits of being hands-on in education and having professors and students who work side-by-side. The world of business is about relationships, and we work hard in the School of Business and Economics to demonstrate that to our students every day.
