C. H. (“Bud”) Barnes, Dean Emeritus, Professor of Economics sent this note:
“I just had a meeting with the current class of our AIE – MBA students. What an amazing group of young men and women. I told them how proud the Johnson Scholarship Foundation leaders are with this program, helping with their education and its long history of successful graduates. US News and World Report just recognized Gonzaga’s MBA-AIE as the 14th highest ranked Specialty program in Entrepreneurship.
