BU Continues Centennial Celebration

Boston University’s School of Management is continuing to celebrate its centennial over the rest of the 2014 school year. Over the 2013-2014 school year, several events were held in celebration of the school’s anniversary. This coming fall, the events will continue.

The School of Management has had a lot of firsts to brag about over the last 100 years. The history of the school includes being one of the first to admit women, being one of the first to institute specific curricula addressing nonprofit and healthcare management, and creating the first MS·MBA, a high-tech dual degree that merges technology with today’s business needs.

The next centennial event for Boston University’s School of Management will be held Tuesday September 30 through October 2, 2014. The event will be held in collaboration with IBM and premier sponsors. The event is called Business Education Jam: Envisioning the Future. This online event will unleash the brainpower of a massive global audience to spark dialogue, share ideas, and explore the future of business education.

Pioneered by innovative technology at IBM, a Jam is a large-scale, collaborative online event that fosters creativity, innovation, and thought exploration. A variety of socially driven tools will prompt conversation through polls, word clouds, and real-time collaborations and chats with featured guests. An extensive set of analytic tools will visualize themes and highlight synergies.

Pre-registration for the event can be completed online. The event is open to all across the entire world. Registration opens on August 25, 2014. More information on the history of the School of Management can be found at the Boston University’s website.
