Dr. Derrick Warren, Dean of the College of Business
Message from the Dean:
At the Grambling State University College of Business, we have a proud history of
cultivating a
community of trailblazers, challengers and believers. Our alumni include Thomas Moorehead,
the first African-American to own a full-service Rolls Royce franchise;. Ira Wayne
McConnell,
Managing Partner of McConnell Jones LLP, the 2nd largest African-American owned CPA
firm
in the country; and Dr. Martin Lemelle, the 11th president of Grambling State University.
These
trailblazers reflect our history of nurturing students who reshape the world we live
in.
As the world witnesses the rapid evolution of digital transformation, immersion of
artificial
intelligence and focus on entrepreneurship, the Grambling State University College
of Business is already embracing this modern challenge. And, anchored to the focus
of Grambling State University, the College of Business faculty are uniquely positioned
to empower the next generation of business leaders to harness the potential of artificial
intelligence (AI), in particular large language models and build businesses that are
solving world and societal problems.
While tomorrow’s leaders will need to be adept in AI and analytics, they will also need to be creative and ethical decision makers who dare to dream of what’s next. We inspire an empathetic-driven approach to conflict resolution and serve as a hub at an institution where everybody is somebody.
In this moment — the changing world of business demands our intellectual innovation. Grambling is the place — the College of Business delivers a unique combination of critical thinking and culturally sensitive skills to enable students to achieve this vision. Our commitment to Building What’s Next — will accelerate the College of Business as a premier business school in the world.
I am pleased to share with you the new strategic plan for the College of Business at Grambling State University. This living document will serve as our guide to driving impact in everything we do.
With gratitude,
Dr. Derrick Warren
