Building for a Better Future

“I have felt honored to be part of this new building project, which represents the dreams and hard work of so many people within and beyond the university. Welcoming everyone into this world-class facility at the start of the semester was one of the highlights of my tenure as Dean of the Farmer School of Business.

—Roger L. Jenkins, Professor and Dean
