VISION FOR THE OFFICE OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS AND COM

• North Carolina State University College of
  Management was created because a need existed.
  From its humble beginnings the college was not
  your typical B-School. With three Departments and
  the smallest administration on campus we have
  grown from 2,157 in 1992 with 113 entering
  freshmen to 2,666 in 2005 and a freshmen class of
  384 for fall,2006. COM was founded outside the
  box and to grow and strive we must continue on
  this path.
• COM will face many challenges in the future, but
  challenges are just opportunities waiting to
  happen.
