2015 ANNUAL REPORT<br />
A MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN<br />
Dear Friends and Supporters,<br />
I am very happy to report that the Sykes College of Business is on a<br />
positive and steep trajectory of continuous improvement, strength,<br />
and is gaining a greater academic reputation every year. This past<br />
year we added new courses, new curriculum, and new academic<br />
programs. This effort is the culmination of the work of faculty and<br />
staff who work tirelessly to improve what we do for students, the<br />
community and the educational environment every day.<br />
Prominent UT stakeholders cut the ribbon at the new Innovation<br />
and Collaboration Building<br />
Our entrepreneurship center was named after a University of Tampa<br />
alumnus: John P. Lowth III. A member of the UT class of 1982, Mr.<br />
Lowth is presently a member of the Board of Trustees<a title="COB-AnnualReport-2015 page 1" href="https://secure.viewer.zmags.com/publication/d166b97d?page=1"> SYKES COLLEGE OF BUSINESS Sykes... </a>
