A "Thank You" From
Interim U-M President, B. Joseph White
(Excerpts
taken from a letter to the University of Michigan campus community)
As we prepare to welcome Mary Sue Coleman to the
presidency of the University of Michigan on August 1, I want you to know
what a pleasure it has been to serve our community as interim president
and meet and work with so many of you during the last seven months. I
come away from the experience with a renewed and expanded appreciation
for the quality of our University and the many, many fine people who
comprise it.
You may recall that last fall, when I accepted
the Regents' invitation to serve as interim president, I dedicated my
term of service to the memories and loved ones of the 18 University of
Michigan alumni who died in the September 11 terrorist attacks on the
World Trade Center and the Pentagon. I am pleased to report to you that
we have created a U-M scholarship program for the 11 children of the
alumni we lost and look forward to a number of these children (the
oldest is now four) following in the footsteps of one or both of their
parents and enrolling here at Michigan some years in the future.
Last fall, I also communicated the goal of
turning over to our next president an academically, professionally,
culturally, and financially strong University. I believe that together
we have achieved this goal. I have enjoyed working with Mary Sue Coleman
to ensure a smooth transition, and I know that you, too, will find our
13th president to be a strong, effective, and thoughtful leader.
My wife, Mary, and I both thank you for the honor
and privilege of serving you and our entire university during this
period of leadership transition. All the best in the years ahead.
Sincerely,
Joe
UMBS Professor
Kathleen Sutcliffe Co-Edits New Book on Medical Mistakes
(Exceprts
taken from the UMBS website -
http://www.bus.umich.edu)
When the prestigious Institute of
Medicine issued its scathing report on medical errors and their deadly
toll in November, 1999, all of America took notice. The report opened
many eyes to the dangers that patients face from health care mistakes
and mishaps, and spurred a movement to increase patient safety.
Now, a new book picks up where the IOM
left off, diagnosing the persistent causes of medical errors and
offering new ways to think about errors from top experts. Titled
"Medical Error: What Do We Know? What Do We Do?" (Jossey-Bass/Wiley), it
offers a timely, comprehensive and constructive discussion on a crucial
issue in medicine.
University of Michigan medical
sociologist Marilynn M. Rosenthal, Ph.D., and Kathleen M. Sutcliffe,
Ph.D., an associate professor of organizational behavior and human
resource management at the U-M Business School, co-edited the volume,
which collects essays from doctors, nurses, health care administrators,
researchers and organizational experts involved in the effort to make
American health care safer. Rosenthal and Sutcliffe co-wrote
introduction and discussion sections.

Business School
Faculty Experts Speak Out on Corporate Corruption
(Exceprts
taken from the UMBS website -
http://www.bus.umich.edu/alumni/web/Aug2BSch)
Several UMBS faculty have recently
commented on corporate governance issues in a featured section of the
Business School website called "Crisis in Corporate America." Among
those faculty featured are Timothy Fort (Associate Professor of
Business Ethics and Business Law, Co-Director of Corporate Governance
and Corporate Social Responsibility at the William Davidson Institute),
Anjan Thakor (the Edward J. Frey Professor of Banking and Finance
and Chair of the Finance Department) and James P. Walsh (the
Gerald and Esther Carey Professor of Organizational Behavior and
Corporate Strategy).
For example, Tim Fort says that
the current crisis "is about creating incentives for people to want to
be ethical. Some people will do it on their own. Others need the threat
of punishment, and criminal sanctions have a role to play in that. But,
in addition, people do respond to wanting to do something that’s good.
And it seems that in an awfully complicated world, executives ought to
be able to see that the trustworthiness of our institutions, business as
well as governmental, makes a difference to how the world views us. I
think we’d enhance our security if executives were more ethical."

UMBS/UM News
Day
in the Life 2002 - Companies Can Register Now! We Need You!
Register now to host
an MBA1, BBA1, or both at your company this fall! Since 1994, more than
500 first-year MBAs and BBAs have spent a
Day in the Life (DITL)
with UMBS alumni at hundreds of U.S. companies, large and small. Global
Blue’s Day in the Life
program is a popular job shadowing and recruiting initiative sponsored
by Alumni Relations, the Business School and various constituents.
Companies value the early exposure to some of Michigan’s best and
brightest recruiting prospects and alumni value the chance to reconnect
to the School and share their wisdom and experience with UMBS students.
Students appreciate the first-hand exposure to corporate culture and the
professional opportunities that may arise from a
DITL visit. The
DITL program provides a
wonderful forum for building relationships between students and alumni.
Here’s what two
students had to say about their 2001
Day in the Life experience:
- "I had the
opportunity to spend a day at a top-tier consulting company in
Chicago. This Day in the Life experience provided me with a
behind-the-scenes look at the consulting industry."
- "It became clear
that in the day in the life of a brand manager, one uses both
analytical and creative skills. The company’s dedication to the
training and development of their brand manager was evident in all of
our interactions..."
Global Blue will
begin accepting online corporate registration for 2002’s
Day in the Life program on
August 1 at
http://www.bus.umich.edu/DayInTheLife. For more information,

A
Message from the Nonprofit and Public Management Center
If
you serve (or have recently served) as a board member of a nonprofit
organization, the Nonprofit and Public Management Center (NPM) at the
Business School would like to hear from you!
NPM is searching for Boards that may be interested in participating in a
terrific new program for MBA students. We match selected students with
Boards of organizations in their areas of interest to serve as nonvoting
members of the Board for a year. During this year, the students receive
training and background in nonprofits and nonprofit governance. They
also are matched with a mentor, who can explain to them how their
particular board works. Finally, they do a research project for the
board, to help the organization in a substantive way. The Board
Fellowship program prepares our students for leadership in the
communities in which they will work.
NPM is currently piloting this program in four organizations. But we
have many, many more students who are eager to participate. To enlarge
the pool of organizations participating, we need your help. We are
interested in organizations located throughout the United States, and
particularly those in the Midwest and the East Coast.
If you are involved
with a 501(c)3 organization that might be a good site for student
involvement (no religious congregations, please), please let us know by
calling Charlene Fluder at 734.763.4214 or contacting NPM via e-mail at
nonprofit@umich.edu. The Center will be happy to answer any
questions you may have about the program and provide materials to share
with your fellow board members. We currently are recruiting
organizations to participate for the 2002-03 academic year, so please
get in touch with us at your earliest convenience if you have an
interest in participating.

Scholarship
Program to Honor Alumni Who Died Sept. 11
(Exceprts taken from U-M News &
Information Services website -
http://www.umich.edu/~newsinfo/releases.html)
Interim President B. Joseph White announced on July 18 that the
University of Michigan will offer scholarships for undergraduate tuition
to children of U-M graduates who died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
White, who announced the scholarship program at
the Board of Regents meeting, dedicated his term of service to the
memories, families and friends of the U-M alumni who were killed in the
attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon when he accepted the
interim presidency in November. His appointment began Jan. 1 and ends
when Mary Sue Coleman, president of the University of Iowa, becomes the
U-M’s 13th president Aug. 1.
White, the Wilbur K. Pierpont Collegiate
Professor and former dean of the Business School, said, "With this
scholarship, the University community joins me in honoring members of
our Michigan family who died last September. We hope that this living
memorial will bring some comfort to their survivors and assurance that
we too remember and cherish the memory of those whose lives were lost.
My hope is that some of their children will someday attend our great
university."
Four Business School alumni perished in the
September 11 attacks - David D. Alger (MBA 1968), Scott Weingard (BBA
1993), Marc Scott Zeplin (MBA 1993) and Meredith L. Whalen (BBA 2000).
