“The Farmer School's comprehensive facility represents the dreams and hard work of many people within and beyond the university. Welcoming everyone into this world-class building at the start of fall semester 2009 was one of the highlights of my tenure as Dean of the Farmer School of Business.

"We are grateful to the many, many friends of the school who share our sense of mission and our confidence that the Farmer School will continue to offer an unparalleled combination of educational experiences to tomorrow’s global business leaders.”

—Roger L. Jenkins, Professor and Dean
