Alum Profile

Caroline Frigault

Why I chose to major in MGMT:

I knew from the start I wanted to seek out a management degree at CSB/SJU. I was able to take a variety of courses enabling me to become well rounded in all aspects of business while helping me become prepared for life in the real world. I thoroughly enjoyed the strategic marketing and management courses the college offered. Coming up with efficient business & marketing plans was interesting to me and really allowed me to think creatively out of the box. The professors at CSB/SJU are dedicated and willing to go above and beyond for their students which I learned first hand during my four years on campus.

Management Department Calendar

Wendy Klepetar was recently named Chair of the Management Department. Wendy has been teaching at CSB/SJU since 1984. Her main focuses for study and research are international organization behavior and the impact of culture on work setting behavior.

As Chair, Wendy plans to incorporate her vision for the Management Department in the curriculum. She feels that two key issues need to be integrated in the management department at CSB/SJU: preparing students with knowledge concerning globalization and preparing students with experiential learning. Experiential learning begins within the classroom and expands to internships and study abroad experiences. Wendy feels it’s important for students to see the relationship between theory and the real world.

Wendy is looking forward to continuing to improve the learning environment of students at CSB/SJU.
