Iris Baxter welcomed Gerardo Pinedo, senior deputy to L.A. County Supervisor Yvonne B. Burke, as the newest member of the CBAPP Advisory Board and Sub-committee in October.
Public Policy Carves Niche on Advisory Board
The CBAPP Advisory Board stands as one of the College’s greatest recent improvements with 35 of the region’s top business executives now actively involved with the campus. Yet, it has focused exclusively on the business side of the College. Until now. A new Public Policy Sub-committee was launched this fall and features a growing number of some of the top leaders of the public sector in greater Los Angeles, all focused on bettering the CBAPP student experience.

10 Questions…on Arnold’s 180 for Alan Fisher
Do you remember what happened on Nov. 8, 2005? Professor of Political Science Alan Fisher prophesied that you wouldn’t remember in a story for The Report shortly after the special election last year. That day, all of Gov. Schwarzenegger’s propositions failed and many political commentators said he’d shuffle back to Hollywood with his tail between his legs. Fisher thought differently, foretelling of several measures the Governor would take (and did) to win back public opinion in time for this month’s election. Here, he compares Schwarzenegger to Bill Clinton, explains why Arnold’s political acumen isn’t as shabby as some think, and details what it means for democracy that a politician can make such a dramatic 12-month turnaround.

Breaking News: Entrepreneurship and Logistics Institute Receives Funding for Launch
Last month, the U.S. Small Business Administration approved CBAPP’s grant proposal to establish the Institute for Entrepreneurship, Small Business Development and Global Logistics within the College. With the push from Congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald as well as President James Lyons and Provost Allen Mori, the program was funded by a grant of $493,000. The plan is to use the money to launch the Institute with hopes of attracting donors to permanently endow the Institute. Look for a more detailed story on this major boost to CBAPP in the next issue of The Report.

Newsmakers

D. Michael Bargeron II (M.B.A., 1994) received the Donald Golder Memorial Scholarship for his studies in the graduate education program at USC. Without applying for the scholarship, the $2,500 award was given to Bargeron for his meritous achievement within the program. Bargeron hopes to use his degree to teach graduate education in the field of information technology.

Prakash Dheeriya, professor of accounting and finance, won the “Market Cap Speak Out” competition in the online Investors Alley newsletter for the week of Oct. 23 for his response to the question, “Is the current market rally sustainable.” Dheeriya argued that the market rally is not sustainable because it’s a seasonal fluctuation naturally found in business cycles.
