Growing Stronger
Aiming Higher Our mission Our mission is to create enduring educational value for our students, for our alumni and for the business and academic communities we serve: For our students—whom we prepare to succeed in a rapidly changing, technology-driven global business environment. For our alumni—to whom we provide opportunities for continuing professional development and a legacy that appreciates as our excellence grows. For our business community—to whose economic development we contribute by providing a talented, diverse, and highly qualified pool of business professionals and leaders along with educational programs, applied research and collaborate projects. For the academic community—to whom we bring new knowledge by creating an environment that nurtures high-quality, discipline-based research and the development of future scholars.
Our vision Our vision is to gain international prominence for providing a high-quality, technology-enabled educational experience rooted in our Miami location and focused on the unique requirements of doing business in a global and interconnected market.
Our strategic plan Our five-year strategic plan was developed with contributions from our students, faculty, staff, administrative team, alumni and business community. It outlines challenges in our competitive external environment and our internal resources for addressing them. It also sets forth our strategic goals for which we develop annual objectives.

Sally M. Gallion, assistant dean of publications, communications and public relations, died on June 4, 2009, after a courageous fight against cancer. In her twelve years in the College of Business Administration, she instituted and managed a wide array of efforts to increase the business school's visibility.

uring the 2008-2009 fiscal year, the business school launched and strengthened programs, won recognition for its initiatives and contributions to the community, and continued to expand its impressive efforts to serve its multiple constituencies.
The College of Business Administration Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame celebrates 10th anniversary. The college marked the 10th anniversary of its Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame—
the business school's major alumni event of the year—with a masquerade soirée and silent auction at the Fontainebleau Hotel Miami Beach on May 16, 2009. The gathering honored Joyce J. Elam as the South Florida Entrepreneur of the Year. Prior alumni inductees and those previously named South Florida Entrepreneur of the Year also were recognized. Approximately 400 guests attended, including Modesto A. Maidique, then FIU president; incoming FIU President Mark Rosenberg and many of the earlier honorees. The 2009 sponsors were SunTrust Bank; Morrison, Brown, Argiz and Farra, LLP; The Miami Herald; Vitas; Royal Caribbean; Unique Impressions; Park 'N Fly; Florida Event Décor; Infinium Spirits; Hoodiny Entertainment; Gold Coast

Retired chairman and CEO of Knight Ridder and former president of The Miami Herald, Chapman was a philanthropist who had a special fondness for FIU and the business school. He served as chair of the FIU Foundation from 1988 to 1993 and on the FIU Board of Trustees from 2001 to 2003. In 2001, the graduate school in the College of Business Administration was named the Alvah H. Chapman Jr. Graduate School of Business. "He became involved with FIU because he thought it was a university we needed," said Betty Chapman, his widow. "He felt FIU was a place where students, mostly commuters then, could get the education they might not be able to get otherwise. He was very honored when the graduate school was named for him." The Chapman family has deep roots in the university. Daughter Dale Webb worked in the university's advancement office from 1988-2004, including serving as vice president. Her son Aubrey (Brey) Webb (BA '98) and daughter Kristy, who attended FIU as a theater major, continued the close connection.

"He supported the university because he felt that the strength of a community was reflected in its public education opportunities," Webb said of her father. "He considered himself a business man rather than a journalist, and that was why he felt so strongly about supporting the College of Business Administration."

"We are grateful to Alvah for his generous contributions of funds and time to our college, and are proud that our graduate school bears his name," said Joyce J. Elam, executive dean. "We have been inspired by his example and strive to carry on the tradition of altruism and commitment to excellence that his life embodied."

FIU Micro Lenders began as a community service project in the Business in Society course in the BBA+ Weekend program. It grew into an official student organization, and during the 2008-2009 fiscal year undertook a number of major tasks. The students began the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) non-profit Florida corporation, worked to integrate the service project across the entire BBA+ Weekend curriculum and started to form a partnership with Great Florida Bank. According to Frank C. McGuinness, BBA+ Weekend Group 24 class president, "The premise of micro finance is that we can empower others through

Alvah H. Chapman Jr. Graduate School of Business First Mercantil Commercebank scholarships awarded. Four graduate students from two master's degree programs—the International MBA (IMBA) and the Master of International Business (MIB)—became the first recipients of scholarships from Mercantil Commercebank. The bank pledged $150,000 over five years to the college's Growth and Excellence Fund to make the scholarships possible. The Chapman School matches every dollar donated from its internal fund. The recipients were Tomas Garcia (IMBA), Guillermo Hernandez (MIB), IMBA student Emmanuel Roman (BBA '08) and Eduardo Velazquez (MIB).
Reaching Globally
The awarding of the funds was the culmination of an effort initiated
by Jose de la Torre, then Chapman Graduate School dean, now clinical professor and J.K. Batten Eminent Scholar Chair in Strategy, Department of Management and International Business. "The donations will help the graduate school attract bright, top-level stu-
dents who might otherwise select business schools with large endowments offering more financial help," he said. In addition to the contribution from Mercantil Commercebank, Espirito Santo
Bank and Jackson Health System each pledged $75,000 over five years. "We are extremely grateful to these pioneering companies that have
allowed us to get the effort off the ground," de la Torre said. "But this is just a beginning. We want to increase the fund dramatically in the future."

n 2008-2009, Executive and Professional Education offered 40plus open enrollment programs and more than 20 customized programs to over 1,000 participants at off-site facilities, on the college campus and throughout Latin America.
Executive and Professional Education Business school and Novartis Latin America partner to deliver executive programs. A new partnership between the college and Novartis Latin America resulted in the launch of the "Novartis Executive Education Program" and the "Novartis Advanced Management Program (AMP)." Carlos D. Garcia, president, Novartis Latin America, describes these customized efforts as Novartis' "central piece of learning for our future senior managers in Latin America." Coordinated through EPE, and drawing on the expertise of senior faculty members led by Jose de la Torre, EPE faculty director and J.K. Batten Chair in Strategy, Department of Management and International Business, both programs include an action learning project. Participants apply their knowledge to provide recommendations to Novartis senior management

on issues of critical importance to the company in the region. The Novartis AMP, a five-week mini-MBA, draws upon FIU's alliance with
top business schools in Latin America. The participants take the modules at different campuses throughout the year, affording them "a very rigorous curriculum and a culturally rich experience," Garcia said. The programs "accelerate the experience of people with strong perfor-
mance records and high potential, engage them in a collaborative project and cross fertilize talent," said Marcelo Fumasoni, vice president, human resources, Novartis Latin America Regional Office. Although Novartis has robust in-house training capabilities, Fumasoni
values the alliance in part because "everyone has shown the flexibility and willingness to really listen, understand our needs and be a true partner."

he research centers in the college support scholarship, travel, lectures and more. Each delivers a full menu of offerings and all seek substantive collaborations with each other and other entities within FIU and the wider community.
Research Centers Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) In December 2008, FIU-CIBER organized the First Annual Faculty Development in International Business (FDIB) program in India with visits to Mumbai and Bangalore. Twelve faculty participants from schools throughout the world visited companies such as GSK, Siemens and RPG Group. In Bangalore, they had the opportunity to interact with faculty from the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, one of the most prestigious institutions in the country as well as spending time at the country's leading IT companies—Mphasis and Infosys—and Shining Emotional Surplus Pvt. Ltd., a boutique consulting firm since 1996. The trip, which included visits to the Elephanta Caves in Mumbai and the nature preserve in Bangalore, culminated with a New Year's Eve celebration at the Taj Hotel in Mumbai.
Creating Synergies
Energy Business Forum Energy Business Forum co-directors Edward Glab, clinical professor of business, and George Philippidis, associate director, Applied Research Center, organized the Global Energy Outlook, which took place at the college and which ExxonMobil sponsored. The Energy Business Forum also sponsored an energy/global warming conference organized by the European Studies Center at FIU and supported by funds from the European Union. Glab participated in a year-long Brazilian Task Force organized by the University of Miami (UM), and with Philippidis submitted articles published by UM as part of the Forum's participation in the Western Hemisphere Energy Security Task Force. In addition, the Energy Business Forum began a partnership with the new School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA).

Our annual report detailing the year's highlights

the Constitution
If we're going for American political parallels, then I'm trying to put together something that may be more closely akin to the Articles of Confederation; they may have been replaced with another document, but their Articles' details were still important to history. For a more modern parallel, startup companies may reincorporate at various times during their spin-ups and expansions, but a lot of time they wouldn't need to if they'd done competent draftwork at the get-go. Amendment, even unto outright replacement, is an acknowledged fact-of-life here; but the Founder Effect of the original design can still have significant consequences, and in this case, I believe it's worth doing the work to try to nudge such long-term effects.
That said - in the unlikely event that it turns out to be impossible to assemble a charter and bylaws that do everything I want, then I can at least put together something that's roughly equivalent to the Old Testament in the sense of being "a stream-of-consciousness culture dump: history, law, moral parables, and yes, models of how the universe works", to serve as enough of a foundational document to allow the AI copies to maintain a cohesive subculture in much the way that Rabbinical Judaism has over the centuries.
