Gary Smith,
Ph.D, associate director of the Physical Plant, David Maguire,
associate director of CIRT and Dr. David Gonzales, associate
professor, Internal Medicine, were selected for the class of
2002-04.
Co-sponsored
by the Vice President for Business and Finance, Vice President
for the Health Sciences Center and Dean of the Anderson Schools
of Management, the program demonstrates UNMs commitment
to career development opportunities for staff.
The EMBA
is an intensive two-year program with classes offered every
other weekend on Friday and Saturday. The unique format is designed
for experienced managers.
Having
a scientific background didnt prepare me to manage such
a large and diverse workforce of 287 in the Physcial Plant Department,
said Smith. With an in-depth professional management
education from UNMs EMBA program, I hope to become a more
valuable asset to UNM.
I
hope to use my EMBA skills to give something back to the Health
Sciences Center to cope better with these complicated times,
said Gonzales.
The first
UNM staff scholarship recipients Chris Vallejos of Auxiliary
Enterprises and Clara de la Cruz Watral of the General Library,
will complete their studies in early-September.
