Kelley School of Business Faculty

The faculty of the Kelley School of Business is responsible for all curriculum requirements and policies for the Graduate Programs. Faculty offices are located on the fourth floor of the Business/SPEA Building. Support staff for the faculty are located near the north stairwell on the fourth floor. For security purposes, access to the fourth floor is restricted to normal business hours, which are 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. unless you have made special arrangements with a particular faculty member.

Beta Gamma Sigma

Beta Gamma Sigma is the national scholastic honor society in the field of business and administration recognized by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business. The purpose of Beta Gamma Sigma is to encourage and reward scholarship and accomplishment among students of business and administration, to promote the advancement of education in the art and science of business, and to foster integrity in the conduct of business operations.

Election to membership in Beta Gamma Sigma is the highest scholastic honor that a student in business administration can earn, and new members elected from among the master's degree students must rank in the upper 20 percent of those receiving the degree during the same academic year.

Evening M.B.A. Student Advisory Board (SAB)

SAB members meet monthly after class. They are elected from each cohort and are responsible for Teaching Excellence Awards, cookie breaks, "class announcers," and various other student projects. Look for them on the second floor during "cookie breaks." Your participation in this student group is welcome.

M.P.A. Student Association

All M.P.A. students are automatically members of the M.P.A. Student Association (MPASA). MPASA is operated by M.P.A. students who volunteer to serve on a steering committee and other standing and special event committees.

Graduate Student Lounge

The Graduate Student Lounge is located in BS 3007 of the Kelley School of Business. The lounge remains open as long as the building is open to student traffic. The bulletin board in the lounge carries notices of campus activities and extracurricular events that may be of interest to all graduate students. Student mailboxes are located in the lounge.

Evening M.B.A. and M.P.A. Student Mailboxes

Individual hanging files serve as mailboxes for all current graduate students and are located in the Graduate Student Lounge, BS 3007. The mailboxes are arranged in alphabetical order by cohort group. Although much of the communication to graduate students occurs on the e-mail system, candidates are encouraged to check their mailboxes on a regular basis. These mailboxes are used by the Graduate Office, the faculty, and other graduate students as a means of sharing information related to academic matters.
