“Not only did Graceland as a whole provide me with an involved and well-rounded college experience, but the C.H. Sandage School of Business gave me the opportunity to participate in the empowerment-driven organization, Enactus, and also receive a top-tier education. The relationships that I built and the skills that I learned have equipped me with the necessary tools to be successful in my professional life. Even in just two short months of ‘working in the real world,’ I have already applied various classroom discussions, textbook concepts and have been able to build relationships with people from all walks of life.” ~ Sara Ruckman ’16

“Graduating from the Sandage School of Business has prepared me for much more than taking a test. Yes, I learned about subjects that are taught in most business textbooks nationwide, but at Graceland my education was taken to the next level. Forming friendships with faculty, learning with peers from all over the world and having opportunities for real-world application of the knowledge learned in the classroom are just three of the ways that Graceland has prepared me to stand out after graduation.” ~ Jay Lysinger ’16

We are committed to assisting you in becoming the best professional you can be.

Student Perspectives

1

The C.H. Sandage School of Business is one of the largest academic units at Graceland University. This is, in part, a result of market forces and the rewards society offers those who are skilled managers and decision makers.

In 2015, Business Research Guide recognized the C.H. Sandage School of Business as one of the Top 50 Most Innovative Small College Business Departments in the nation. The School of Business was identified as having “one of the widest ranges of business education degree programs on our list” and was also praised for the Sandage Center for the Study of Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship and the success that our Enactus team has had on the national and international stage, including a second place finish at the 2006 World Cup held in Paris, France.

Steven L. Anders, PhDDISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS641.784.5178 | [email protected]: PhD, Economics, Kansas State University MA, Economics, Kansas State University BA, Economics and Business Administration, Graceland University

My passion is learning and teaching economic theory and I have studied and taught a variety of economic courses throughout my teaching career. A goal I have in every course is for students to develop as analytical and critical thinkers. Analytical and

critical thinking are at the heart of a liberal arts education. The academic discipline of economics lends itself well for developing the tools and skills to be an effective analytical and critical thinker.

Just as important is effective communication; I recognize the importance of communication in the professional life of an economist. Therefore, I emphasize the importance of strong verbal and written communication, especially in the capstone course I teach in economics. As an entrepreneur, I own and operate a small business that I use to illustrate various economic principles.

Paul Martin Beck, PhDPROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS 641.784.5176 | [email protected] Degrees: PhD, University of Missouri – Columbia MA, University of Missouri – Kansas City BA, DePauw University

I have been a faculty member at Graceland for the last 24 years. During that time I have taught a wide number of courses in economics and business administration. There are two reason why I enjoy my job, the students who challenge me and the discipline of economics. My goal is to help students acquire “the economic way of

thinking,” as economics provides a methodology for critically analyzing events and issues. This is a skill students can use throughout their entire lives, in a world of constant change. It also provides a way for students to examine themselves and the complexities of business and life.

Linda DeBarthe, PhD, CPAPROFESSOR OF ACCOUNTING AND BUSINESS641.784.5177 | [email protected]: PhD, University of Iowa MPA, University of Texas BA, Graceland University

I have been teaching accounting and business courses in Graceland’s C. H. Sandage School of Business since 1990. My research interests include individual taxation, personal finance and social entrepreneurship. I love living in Lamoni, where I volunteer as a yoga instructor, church organist, quilter and food bank facilitator. I am

a third-generation Graceland graduate and 14th-generation teacher who loves helping students obtain skills and knowledge.

Jeffery W. McElroy, MBAASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION641.784.5179 | [email protected]: MBA, Drake University BA, Business Administration and Economics, Graceland University

My philosophy of teaching stems from my expertise in marketing, customer service, field service and operations after 20+ years in corporate management, which enables me to bring real-world examples to the classroom. My goal is to provide students with as much information and experiential learning as possible. I want them to be

better prepared than their peers from other institutions and be more successful in their chosen careers. To accomplish this, I incorporate a myriad of styles and activities in the classroom such as current events, lectures with power points, videos, learning games, simulations, clickers, group activities, open discussion, real-world examples and real-life case studies. Experiential learning includes industry-leading guest speakers, trips to tour companies, real-world applications such as Kaizen and Microsoft Project, and the opportunity to develop and implement real marketing plans with local and Fortune 500 companies.

Scholarship has kept me especially busy these last few years. While teaching full time and developing a new social media marketing major, I have been working on my EdD Doctor of Education in Leadership, and am on track to complete my dissertation in 2017.

Larry Murphy, MBA, CPA ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF ACCOUNTING641.784.5172 | [email protected]: MBA, Drake University BA, Industrial Administration, Iowa State University

Accounting is the language of business. Financial understanding and fiscal responsibility are important to corporations, non-profit organizations and governmental entities. Accounting provides the information for people to make daily decisions in their professional and personal lives. Every person should have a

foundation of financial literacy that is provided by the knowledge of accounting.

My professional experience includes public accounting with an international CPA firm, managerial accounting as a corporate controller for a national retail chain and teaching accounting, both for Graceland University and elsewhere. My previous employment helped me recognize the need for and understanding of quality instruction in the classroom. In order to learn and comprehend accounting concepts, examples are provided during class and reinforced with homework assignments outside the classroom. Exams are intended to be challenging and thought-provoking.

Each course contains the two recurring components of ethics and current events. In recent years, the accounting profession has changed due to scandals and ethical conflicts. An awareness of these past situations will hopefully help students learn to make better decisions in the future. Ethical dilemmas are presented for discussion and possible resolution on both an individual student basis as well group cases. Reading and referencing material beyond the textbook is an expected part of the accounting learning process.

Max Pitt, MBA, CMAASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION641.784.5348 | [email protected]: MBA, University of Texas BS, Agri-Business, Business Administration and Economics, Graceland University

My professional objective is to “apply” experience in education, leadership, banking, business and service to create whole persons, to develop ethical organizations, and to build healthy communities. This commitment to applying my experience is rooted in my education at Graceland. I pursued my masters in business administration with the

goal to teach at Graceland in the future. I put the academic theories into practice in banking and community service with a desire to someday put the “practice” into the academic theory in the classroom.

Robert A. Poulton, PhDASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS; DEAN OF C.H. SANDAGE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS641.784.5431 | [email protected] Degrees: PhD, Economics, The Pennsylvania State University BA, Economics, Wittenberg University

As an undergraduate at Wittenberg University, I began studying economics as preparation for law school. After my second course though, I was hooked. I loved the way economics allowed me to see the world differently and solve complex problems. I loved that it was the part of the liberal arts that connected to the business

world. I soon chose a different path and proceeded to graduate study in economics, where I specialized in industrial organization and public finance. I feel incredibly blessed to have found my passion and to now have a chance to share this passion with my students. My goal every semester is to show the beauty of economics by bringing it to life in the classroom. I accomplish this by giving students the opportunity to experience economic phenomena, through in-class demonstrations, competitive business simulations, case studies, mock courts and economic summits. I believe that life long learning happens when we are actively engaged in memorable experiences.

As a graduate student instructor at Penn State, I taught classes of over 100 students. Here at Graceland, the small class sizes allow me to get to know my students. I can give them individual tutoring outside of the classroom, help them with their research, serve as their academic advisor, collaborate with their economics club and even compete against them on the basketball court during intramural season! Seeing them grow over their four years and transform into successful career professionals is the most rewarding aspect of my job.

Selected Co-Curricular Activities There are several exciting ways students can get involved outside of the classroom, including the Center for the Study of Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship and Enactus.

Sandage Center for the Study of Free Enterprise and Entrepreneurship By establishing the Sandage Center, Graceland University seeks to perpetuate the spirit of free enterprise in students, faculty and community. The study of America’s entrepreneurial tradition enhances and strengthens our economy by encouraging innovation and by familiarizing young people with a knowledge of the principles and history of free enterprise. That body of economic values, purposes, concepts, processes and structures which constitutes the American system of free enterprise has allowed our society to deploy its resources, both physical and human, to achieve a high standard of quality of life for most Americans. Although it is not perfect, our economic system is inextricably interwoven with the individual freedoms Americans cherish. Of primary importance is the belief that enduring political and economic freedom rests on the expectation of society for ethical and compassionate economic behavior.

The focused study of free enterprise and entrepreneurship is appropriately located in a small, private university with its emphasis on the dignity of the individual. To educate people to understand the history and principles of free enterprise, and to evaluate business opportunities, is to provide a basis not only for the future economic success of the individual student but also for the economic success of our world.

Enactus Enactus, formerly known as SIFE or Students in Free Enterprise, is an international nonprofit organization that brings together student, academic and business leaders who are committed to using the power of entrepreneurial action to improve the quality of life and standard of living for people in need. On 1,600 university campuses worldwide, Enactus provides students the opportunity to channel their unique talents, passions and ideas to create good through projects that empower others.

The Graceland University Enactus team brings about positive transformation — in communities and in the students who work in those communities. Students have focused on both local and global projects that seek to change lives through entrepreneurial action, and have completed over 3,000 hours of project work yearly on a variety of efforts.

Enactus students have empowered youth in the Lamoni Community by teaching healthy eating habits and cooking on a budget through the Alley Chefs program, as well as encourageing fifth graders to save and learn financial skills through the Kids Bank program.

Enactus has continued its business consulting work in Lamoni with several local restaurants, writing over $3,000 in Enactus grants through partner companies to help business owners purchase equipment that could help them be more productive and energy efficient. The team also developed Midnight Munchies, an event that features a local restaurant during special late-night hours on select Fridays throughout the year; keeping entertainment dollars in Lamoni, and creating a fun venue for students and community members alike.

Lamoni Service Center staff and volunteers have been empowered by the Graceland Enactus team as well. Enactus helped them redesign their sales floor, develop better inventory controls, and continues to aid them in marketing and encouraging their volunteer base. Through the hard work of the staff, volunteers and Enactus students, the Service Center is on a path to financial stability, and will continue to provide vital services to the community well into the future.

Enactus students organize several events on campus in addition to Entrepreneurial Roundtable, including Fall Burn, which is a career and professional development event, and Threads, a mock interview night and businesswear fashion show tailored to students.

Graceland Enactus remains passionate about the environment, and continues to lead the development of a University compost facility. The team is also developing plans for a community orchard and community awareness efforts regarding the effect of plastic bags on the environment.

Enactus students create international impact. Enactus team members traveled to Zambia with partner NGO HealthEd Connect, continuing a strong history of developing income-generating activities and creating opportunities for the people of three impoverished villages in Zambia’s Copper Belt area.

In addition, Enactus traveled with Outreach International to Nicaragua, where they empowered local business owners to develop greater business and accounting skills.

To address poverty in our local community, team members are collaborating with several campus groups and leading the charge to found a Graceland Student Food Pantry and Supply Closet, which will provide much-needed food, household supplies and other support to financially unstable Graceland students.

An important aspect of the Enactus experience is the annual competition. In May 2006, the Graceland University team was named SIFE U.S. National Champion, propelling them on to the SIFE World Cup in Paris, France, where they finished second. Graceland Enactus continues a strong showing at competitions and has been ranked among the top teams in the country for more than a decade.

Agricultural Business Club

Graceland’s Agricultural Business Club offers students opportunities to develop leadership and professionalism. Students elect club officers and set the club’s goals and budget. Graceland’s Agricultural Business Club members coordinate field trips and support the annual scholarship auction and Agricultural Business/FFA Days. In addition to these opportunities, the Agricultural Business Club has designated members to be involved in decisions regarding the Agricultural Business Test Plots. With the

encouragement and involvement of local agricultural professionals, the test plots (located on the east side of Graceland’s campus) provide hands-on educational opportunities. The test plots are the primary source of funding for the Agricultural Business Club’s activities.

All students are invited to participate in the Agricultural Business Club and to join the efforts to develop and encourage global agricultural professionals to produce and distribute food, fiber and fuel to feed, clothe and sustain the world’s growing population.

Omicron Delta Epsilon

Omicron Delta Epsilon is an international honor society in economics, with chapters at 690 universities, including places such as Harvard University, Yale University and University of Pennsylvania. Chapters can be found in countries all around the globe, including the United States, Canada, Australia, Scotland, Mexico, Bulgaria, South Africa, Egypt, France, Kazakhstan and the United Arab Emirates. The society’s primary objectives have been to recognize outstanding scholastic achievement in economics and to establish closer ties between students and faculty in economics at colleges and universities.

Graceland’s chapter inducted its inaugural class in May 2013. This group had representatives from seven different countries. Goals for the group include bringing their love of economics to the campus and the community through events such as guest speakers, luncheons with first year economics students, and economic simulations. Membership eligibility is based on high achievement in economics, but most club events will be open to the whole campus community. There are now 49 Graceland students whose strong academic work has been recognized by their induction in this organization.
