As Assistant to the Dean
for Student Affairs in the School of Business and Economics (SBE), I interact with
many students at UMD, as well as those who are considering any of the opportunities provided
by the School. I thoroughly enjoy working with students and make every effort to provide good services.I oversee a variety of functions and services for students. Among these are coordination of advisement and counseling, monitoring student records for degree requirements and academic standing, recruiting and admission activities, orientation and welcome of new students, and many other activities in support of undergraduate students. To learn a few more details, you may view the SBE Student Affairs home page.
Working with me is TRACEY BOLEN
who takes primary responsibility for orientation events and clearance of seniors, along with his advisement duties. He has a good reputation among students as
a helpful person and good problem-solver. In addition, Tracey is skilled at using the various computer functions which are essential to student services; he has an interest in developing web pages, too.
Another member of SBE Student Affairs is CANDY FURO.
While Candy supports the efforts of SBE students in a variety of ways, including checking seniors' progress toward graduation, she is a key contact for MBA students, who have been known to give her flowers for her work on their behalf
! Please contact Candy if you are interested in our MBA program.
