Letter from the Dean
Greetings and blessings to you as you contemplate the next step on life's journey!
Have you heard about the latest interviewing technique that is sweeping human resources offices nationwide? It goes something like this: “Tell me about a time when you ___________ .” That question ends with a specific skill or task, such as “resolved a conflict in the workplace,” or “developed a successful plan for a complex project,” or “handled a difficult ethical dilemma,” or “confronted a team member for his or her unproductive behavior.” Any business-related behavior is fair game and these questions have proven to help organizations identify the highest performing job-seekers. Are you ready for these questions?
Pfeiffer's business programs are designed to help you respond with confidence.
But there is more to Pfeiffer business programs than skill-building. Pfeiffer business graduates know how to build community in the workplace. They know effective leadership and sound management are based upon important values such as maintaining personal integrity, developing others, displaying care, demonstrating personal responsibility, administering equitable rewards, and providing genuine value to customers and clients. Pfeiffer students become business leaders by taking responsibility for real-life projects that make a difference in the workplace and change peoples' lives.
After you have read about what Pfeiffer business programs have to offer it is time for me to ask you an important question: Tell me about a time when you made a strategic decision to learn how to make a difference in the world? Perhaps you are engaged in that decision right now. Call or email us and accept our invitation to visit one of Pfeiffer University's campuses today.
If you haven't lived it, you haven't learned it!
Thanks for your interest,
Ken

GPS Summer 2011 School of Business, Misenheimer
On May 9th, 2011, a group of Pfeiffer students embarked on a journey to experience life from new and different perspectives. Global Pfeiffer Studies (GPS) offers students the opportunity to learn in a study abroad experience. The 2011 summer program took three students (John Anderson, Tyler Joyner and Rachel Ford) to study leadership in Europe. According to Dr. Howard, the trip served two main purposes: to enable students to experience and understand different cultures and to rethink the purpose and definition of leadership.
The twenty-three day program was worth it, simply for the exposure to cultural differences and varying perspectives of looking at different phenomenon within our world. However, the greatest learning came from serving alongside others and chatting with other leaders about how they view leadership, ministry and life.
While in Kandern, Germany, the team helped local leaders by digging a garden, fixing parts of the roof, moving bricks for another project, and several cleaning projects. Later in the program, while in Chrastava, Czech Republic, the team assisted local leaders in building an outdoor stage, fixing a swing set, and participating in English conversation classes in various towns in the area.
“I don’t know what the students will remember most from the experience in five years,” said Dr. Howard. “Maybe it will be the new cultural experiences like a horse and buggy ride through the Black Forest, hiking in the Alps, visiting the concentration camp at Dachau, seeing the beauty of art at the Louvre or studying alongside German students. My hope is that they witnessed first hand the power of serving others and what life can look like when we collaborate with others, sometimes at the expense of our own self-interests.”
