Each year, the Stillman Business School and the Center for Leadership Development welcomes the newest group of future leaders: the freshman class. In the early weeks of the program, the class is extended the customary hand of community and support through a meeting with President of the University, Dr. A. Gabriel Esteban, Dean of the Stillman Business School, Dean Joyce Strawser, and Associate Vice President of Alumni and Government Relations, Mr. Matthew Borowick. This year, that meeting took place on the tenth of September in Stillman\u2019s ground-floor conference room.<\/p>\n

As each of the class\u2019 guests arrived, they were greeted with smiles, handshakes, and excited conversation. Director of the Leadership Development Honors Program, Michael Reuter, gave opening remarks. He expressed the Freshman team\u2019s excitement at having such distinguished guest join them and providing them with an opportunity to learn from some of Seton Hall\u2019s most distinguished servant leaders. The conversation was then turned over to Mikaela Milano. Ms. Milano supplemented Mr. Reuter\u2019s introduction by vocalizing the team\u2019s gratitude.<\/p>\n

After introductions around the table, the first question was posed by Kathleen Yeckley: \u201cWhat advice would you give us as we begin our university careers?\u201d Dr. Esteban first took the opportunity to first welcome the team to Seton Hall and advised the freshman to be aware of and explore the vast opportunities for learning and service on campus. The conversation continued on a wide range of subjects, from classes to travel to alumni to possible future ventures for the Stillman School of Business. A great emphasis was put on real-world application of both undergraduate and graduate education. \u201cWhen an MBA student leaves that night,\u201d said Dean Strawser, \u201cwe hope to give the something that can be applied in the workplace in the morning.\u201d Continuing on in that thought, Mr. Borowick added that an education at \u201c[Seton Hall] prepared [alumni] holistically.\u201d Those who left Seton Hall have made, and continue to make, a difference.<\/p>\n

Such was the expectations delivered by President Esteban. \u201cI expect everyone here to be a servant leader.\u201d Being a servant leader, he continued, involves \u201cthe willingness to put others above yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

With such an expectation in mind, the meeting came to its conclusion. The Leadership Class of 2018 took away a wonderful experience and look forward to pursuing their own legacy and entering the world as Seton Hall alumni and the newest servant leaders.<\/p>\n
