Board of Advisors

The Stephens College of Business Board of Advisors is engaged and committed to the success of the college. The Board is active in assisting with internship placement and serving as subject matter experts to students. The Board’s greatest engagement is with the financial life of the college. We have advisory board members who have funded scholarship programs and major strategic initiatives. Michael Grainger and his wife Donna provided a financial commitment to the Stephens College that resulted in the creation of the first endowed academic chair in the University’s history. The Grainger Center for Professional Development was named in appreciation of the financial support provided by the Graingers in the creation of the center. James Newman and his wife Jennifer provided financial support to the college that resulted in the establishment of The James and Jennifer Newman Endowed Accounting Scholarship.
