Business @UM-Flint Magazine

Business @UM-Flint is the annual magazine of the University of Michigan-Flint School of Management. This magazine’s purpose is to update the school’s alumni and friends about the activities of its students, faculty, staff, administrators and supporters.

Recent technological developments and policy changes are affecting how business is practiced. That’s why this year’s theme for Business @UM-Flint is the future of business. This theme builds on last year’s issue, which celebrated SOM’s 50-year legacy of higher education.
