16 50TH ANNIVERSARY History in the Making

The College’s Leaders from its Humble Beginnings to the Present

Dear Colleagues, Alumni, Students and Friends,

The year 2015 – 2016 is a very special year for California State University, San Bernardino as we celebrate our 50th anniversary. The College of Business and Public Administration is not quite that old; a School of Administration was established in 1974, although the seeds of business education were planted in the curriculum at CSUSB from the very beginning.

While anniversaries are a great time to reminisce and reflect on all that has been accomplished, it is also a time to look forward and to lay the groundwork for the next 50 years. As you read through the articles in this edition, you will see that the faculty, staff, students and alumni of the CBPA are helping to shape the future and prosper-ity of this region through innovative teaching, consequential research, community outreach, relevant internships, and legacy giving.

Our reach is growing well into the Coachella Valley and beyond. As the Palm Desert Campus grows, so too, does the CBPA commitment to providing more business and public administration classes and programs. Our San Bernardino campus faculty regularly travel to the desert to teach a growing and eager student body.

As you read through the articles, you will see how our global management outreach and travel abroad programs are expanding perspec-tives and improving business opportunities. You will see that our faculty leaders have created strategically important concentrations in entrepreneurship, cyber security and public administration, and our faculty and staff are dedicated to our students’ success.

What will business and public administration education look like in 2065? No one really knows for sure, but one thing we do know is that the College of Business and Public Administration will be an integral part of helping to create, sustain and improve the lives of students, alumni, faculty and community members throughout our region. We’re in it for the long haul and are bent on providing experiences that cumulate into much more than just a degree. I invite you to join us on our journey!

Lawrence C. Rose, Ph.D., FFin, FCPA (Aus) Dean

IN THIS ISSUE

LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENTDear friends, partners and alumni,

The College of Business and Public Administration is making the most of this year’s celebration by reconnecting, strengthening, and extending ties with philanthropic partners, business associates, and community leaders. This year we have deepened our relationships with core partners—US Bank, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, UPS, Vistage and Edison, to name a few. For example, Vistage recently became a platinum under-writer for the Spirit of the Entrepreneur gala; Edison invested some $75,000 in the cyber security program and for scholarships, and Bank of America and Wells Fargo increased their contributions to the College.

Working collaboratively with these corporate partners has united our shared interests resulting in a dramatically enhanced impact for the CBPA. But we’ve also been working hard to tell our story to foundations and other supporters. Our newly established relationship with the Annenberg Foundation generated a $50,000 grant to support the Women’s Business Center, and CBPA’s longtime scholarship supporters, Robert and Yolanda Wengen, renewed their pledge by increasing their financial support for students.

We all have a common interest in the economic health and vitality of the Inland Empire region, and it all starts with providing outstanding educational and business opportunities for our students.

Thank you for your support! If you want to know more about how you can get involved with the College of Business and Public Administra-tion, give me a call at (909) 537-7295. We’re listening and we want your input.

Warmly,

Kimberly Shiner, M.P.A. Director of Development, CBPA

INSTITUTE OF APPLIED RESEARCH

Call Center Training Program Takes Off

Cal State San Bernardino is helping prepare and train individuals in the Inland Empire for one of fastest growing industries in the world – global call centers, which experts predict will reach earnings of $337.8 billion by 2018.

The Inland Empire is quickly becoming the destination point for call centers as it is attracting a number of differ-ent businesses all buoyed by the region’s affordable land and lower rents. Those businesses include Southern Cali-fornia Gas, Enterprise Holdings, American Home Remod-eling, ARS, Starcrest, Springboard and Goodwill.

The call centers have resulted with more than 1,000 job

openings in the inland region. According to the California Employment Development Department in Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, demand for call center and cus-tomer service employees was up by 12 percent in 2011-2012.

To meet the increasing need for people trained to work at call centers, Barbara Sirotnik, director of the CSUSB In-stitute of Applied Research, and Victoria Seitz, chair of the CSUSB marketing department, developed and rolled out the Call Center Training program in spring of 2015.

The nine-week program covered soft and hard skills es-sential to success at an entry level position in a call center, and included topics such as keyboarding, image, effective communication, problem solving, ethics, dealing with dif-ficult customers and sales.

For more information contact Victoria Seitz, [email protected], or visit our Facebook site at https://www.facebook.com/The-Call-Center-Training-Program-at-CSUSB-466209230203418/.

And the Survey Says ...To locals and outsiders, living in San Bernardino County

seems to be a matter of what people write and say in the news media, social media and other forms of communica-tion.

But since 1997, randomly chosen residents through-out San Bernardino County have been able to voice their thoughts about living in their part of the Inland Empire.

In 2015, 1,115 residents called San Bernardino County a “very good” place to live, with an excellent economy and they have a “great deal” or “some” trust in their elected of-ficials, but still worry about crime.

Those were the findings of a telephone survey conduct-ed by the Institute of Applied Research and Policy Analy-sis at in the College of Business and Public Administration. The institute analyzes public opinion in San Bernardino County relative to the economy, crime, ratings of the county as a place to live, private and public services, com-muting, and confidence in elected officials, said Barbara Sirotnik, IAR director and professor of statistics and supply chain management at CSUSB.

The institute is a full-service consulting and applied re-search organization. The institute’s purpose is to provide a variety of research and consulting services to public agen-cies, business organizations, and individuals within the

university’s service area. Sirotnik says the institute customizes its research so that

each client receives thorough, timely, practical and accu-rate information tailored for the decision-making needs of the particular organization. This year’s sponsors includ-ed the university, the Mojave Water Agency, the city of Rancho Cucamonga and Omnitrans.

PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

The recent release of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Com-mittee report on the torture of detainees in U.S. custody sent shockwaves here in the United States and abroad. But Jonathan Anderson, a professor and chair of the CSUSB Public Administration Department, felt that there was not enough attention or discussion paid to the ethics of pub-lic leaders and government officials who developed and implemented the policy.

Anderson’s department helped sponsor two public leadership forums, one in the main campus on Nov. 6, and a second on Nov. 7, at the university’s Palm Desert Campus to discuss the issue.

“This was a program that introduced students to for-merly high U.S. government officials involved in the Guantanamo Bay interrogation/torture dilemma. It was encouraging to hear from those who walked the walk of being an ethical government leader,” Anderson said. “We wanted our students and the forum attendees to learn about the federal government’s decision-making process, the nature and level of support for the policy and practice of Harsh Interrogation Techniques, and the professional responsibility of stakeholders, witnesses, and participants to these events.”

The forum panelists included: Alberto Mora, senior fellow at Harvard University and

former general counsel for the U.S. Navy. He led an ef-fort within the U.S. Department of Defense to oppose the legal theories of the Bush Administration and end coer-cive interrogation tactics at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, which he argued were unlawful.

Dave Brant, managing director, Public Sector Practice, BDO Consulting, Bethesda, Maryland. He served as direc-tor of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service between 1998 and 2006. In 2002, Brant began receiving reports of

“questionable” interrogation techniques being performed on detainees being held at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base. He personally investigated and reported his findings to Mora, then general counsel of the Navy, and he subse-quently advised senior Navy officials that NCIS would not engage in abusive treatment even if so ordered.

Mark Fallon, executive director, Club Fed, and former training officer, NCIS and deputy assistant director for training, Department of Homeland Security. He served for more than 30 years in the federal law enforcement and counterintelligence community. Fallon was also deputy commander and chief investigator of the U.S. Department of Defense Taskforce created by President Bush to investi-gate the Al-Qaeda terrorist network for trials before mili-tary commissions. Fallon first identified the “questionable” interrogation techniques that were being performed on detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base and re-ported them to NCIS Director Brant.

The forums were moderated by John McKay, visiting professor of law, Seattle University Law School and for-mer U. S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington. McKay was one of eight U.S. Attorneys fired by the Bush administration in 2006 for taking strong ethical positions on serious matters of public policy.

Serving as facilitators to audience questions were An-derson and Thomas McWeeney, who spent more than 20 years in senior management at the U.S. Department of Justice. He is founder and executive director of the Wash-ington, D.C.,-based Public Leadership Institute and full-time lecturer in the Department of Public Administration at CSUSB.

Is It “Enhanced Interrogation Methods” or


CLADEA

A New and Important Relationship

Lawrence C. Rose, dean of the College of Business and Public Administration, believes the time is right for closer connections to Latin America, and the best way to do that is through CLADEA – El Consejo Latinoamericano de Es-cuelas de Administración, or, as it is known in English, the Latin American Council of Business Schools.

“As a Hispanic Serving Institution, our affiliation with CLADEA gives us an opportunity to create relationships with many business schools in Central and South Ameri-ca,” Rose said. “This is a great benefit to our students, fac-ulty, and to the Inland-Empire.”

CLADEA, headquartered in Peru, is an international, non-profit organization that brings together higher edu-cation institutions and other international organizations dedicated to improving research and education in the field of business administration. Its membership includes more than 200 institutions from Latin America, North America, Europe and Oceania.

To become a full member in CLADEA, applicants must be an institution of higher learning dedicated to teaching and research in business administration and ancillary dis-ciplines. The institution must offer post-graduate studies that lead to a master’s degree and also be accredited by the university system in its home country.

The relationship with CLADEA is already increasing Cal State San Bernardino’s visibility. Kimberly Collins, an asso-ciate professor of public administration, presented her re-search paper at the 49th International Conference and As-sembly of CLADEA in Barcelona, Spain. Titled “The La Paz Agreement: Thirty Years On,” Collin’s research explored the landmark agreement between the United States and Mexico on cooperation for the protection and improve-ment of the environment in the border areas.

As Collins explained, “It was a great experience to be

able to present my research in Barcelona, and to receive supportive feedback from leaders in the field of border stability and protection.”

Astrid Sheil, special assistant for communication and marketing to Rose, was also in Barcelona to deliv-er a 15-minute presentation and proposal to host a fu-ture international assembly of CLADEA at Cal State San Bernardino. Each assembly draws between 300 and 800 participants from around the world. Based on the presen-tation and proposal, the College of Business and Public Administration won the rights to host the 2017 Interna-tional Assembly.

“We are really looking forward to creating opportuni-ties for student and faculty exchanges,” said Rose. “We’ve already started talking about potential partnerships with schools like Tecnológico de Costa Rica to pair their engi-neering students with our entrepreneur and cyber-securi-ty students. The opportunity for cross-border technology transfers is wide open.”

THE GLOBAL IMPERATIVE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPMARCH 15 – 17, 2016

CLADEA, the premier association for schools of business in Latin America, is partnering with the CBPA to host the first workshop on higher education leadership for senior administrators of Latin American business schools, March 15 – 17, 2016, on the San Bernardino campus.

GLOBAL MANAGEMENT

Frank Lin, co-director of the Center for Global Management, Bruce L. Harrison, owner of Sweet Bob’s BBQ, Eduardo Garcia Lima, intern Center for Global Management, and Robert Corona, director of the Center for International Trade and Development.

The Center for Global Management works closely with the Small Business Administration and the Center for In-ternational Trade and Development in Riverside to help California companies export products overseas.

Frank Lin, associate dean for International Programs and co-director of the center, says, “One of the goals of Cen-ter for Global Management is to coordinate assistance in identifying potential markets, financing, and logistics for companies that want to expand overseas.” In addition to helping companies with needs assessments and financial analysis, GMC participates in “high impact practices” by partnering with the SBA and CITD to train and provide in-terns to local businesses.

“We truly have an incredibly talented pool of interns from Cal State,” says Paul Smith of SBA. “They are so in-novative. They help with financial analysis, internation-

al market development, as well as strategic analysis of specific regions.”

Eduardo Garcia Lima, a former intern believes the pro-gram was invaluable to his understanding of global busi-ness. “Working with Bruce, the owner of Sweet Bob’s BBQ, was an amazing opportunity that opened my eyes to the-oretical concepts and the practical use of them,” he recalls. Through this program, Sweet Bob’s BBQ has expanded its market reach to Mexico and Asia.

To help create more opportunities for students to work with businesses looking to expand overseas, the center has started a new initiative called, “The Global Access Pro-gram,” which is designed to provide a total business im-mersion experience for CBPA students. “This is as real as it gets,” says Lin, “and our efforts are beginning to bear fruit.” The program was able to recruit nine business ma-jors during the pilot program with plans in the works to recruit more students, more businesses, and more coun-tries to the program.

According to Lin, the Global Access Program is a win-win for all parties concerned. “This engages our students, gives them hands-on experience, involves the commu-nity, expands the profile of the Inland Empire, and helps export more products, which enhances the local and re-gional economies.”

For more information on the Global Access Program, contact Frank Lin, College of Business and Public Administration at (909) 537-5701, or by email: [email protected].

ALUMNI NOTES


Amro Albanna, 1991 BS Business Administration: Information Management

Founder, Innovation Economy Corp.

“My education at CSUSB was the founda-tion for my career. I am grateful to CSUSB for giving me the opportunity.”

Paul Cook, 1996 MPA Public Administration

U.S. Congressman, California 8th Congressional District

“For someone who had viewed academ-ics as athletics, my perspective changed during graduate school. It prepared me for another career besides the Marine Corps and taught me a lot about public admin-istration. I’ve used the knowledge as an elected official at the local level, as a state assemblyman, and as a congressman.”

Tony Coulson, 1991/1993 BA Information Management MBA Information Management

CSUSB Professor, Information and Decision Sciences/Cyber Security

“A while back I caused a bit of a ruckus for challenging an AVP on campus who pub-licly stated that we were a ‘good enough’ university and should endeavor to create a ‘good enough’ education. I know that my professors were not satisfied with ‘good

enough’ and pushed all of us to succeed and that CSUSB was about excellence and many people backed me on that stance. The facts are simple, this campus is full of passionate people who are here by choice to build something excellent- and we are succeeding at that. Don’t you just love the underdogs?”

Deborah Crowley, 1981 MS Business Administration: Accounting

Partner/CPA – Eadie and Payne, LLP.

“I had a very good relationship with sever-al of my professors, but I would have to say that John Scribner was the best mentor during my time at CSUSB. He was involved with the Accounting Association and I worked with him on special projects.

“CSUSB certainly helped me to launch my career.”

R. Carey Davis, 1997 MBA Business Administration

Mayor, City of San Bernardino

“My CSUSB education was undertaken to achieve multiple personal and profes-sional goals. When I embarked on my MBA path, I was looking to enhance my per-sonal knowledge base as well as gain new skills. Additionally, I was striving to set an example for my children by demonstrating the need for lifetime learning. Profession-ally, I was seeking to advance my career opportunities by complementing my mid-career business achievements. CSUSB’s MBA program helped me achieve my per-sonal goals and catapulted my career to new heights.”

Shawn DeWitt, 1993 BS Business Administration: Marketing

Founding Partner, Director of Brewing Operations, Coronado Brewing Company

“Professor Victoria Seitz in marketing. She was great. “

“The education I got from Cal State San Bernardino has meant the world to me. In addition to setting me up for the success I have had, it also has given me lifelong friends which are priceless. Attending Cal State San Bernardino was the best move I could have made at that time of my life.”

Dr. Appannagari GnanaDev, 2001 MBA Business Administration: Executive Program

Arrowhead Regional Medical Center’s Associate Medical Director, chairman, ARM Department of Surgery; Founding president and CEO, California University of Science and Medicine (Cal Med).

“Though already successful in business, I felt I needed to learn additional busi-ness principles that would enable me to become a seasoned entrepreneur and leader. I was able to gain these principles through the CSUSB MBA program, which I found to be uniquely tailored to my ex-ecutive experience. My MBA has enabled me to continue to successfully build my longtime surgery provider corporation, which includes general and vascular sur-geons, neurosurgeons, ophthalmologists, surgical oncologists and other special-ists. In addition, it has helped me to create a new, allopathic (M.D.) medical school and health sciences university in Colton. I founded California University of Science and Medicine after seeing the need for a premier medical school in the Inland Em-pire. One of the first people I appointed to the medical school board of directors is Dr. Albert Karnig, CSUSB’s president emeritus. My goal is to further the relationship be-tween CSUSB and Cal Med for the benefit of students at CSUSB.”


Mark Kaenel, 1984/1989 BA/MBA Administration: Finance/Business Administration

Senior Vice President, Security Bank of California

“My CSUSB education allowed me stay connected to several people who re-mained in the Inland Empire after gradu-ating like I did. Many of these people have careers and work in industries that have also helped my career. Profession-ally, CSUSB gave me the skills I needed to succeed in my career field. After I earned my MBA, I came back to Cal State and earned a certificate in accounting in 1997 because I needed to deepen my knowl-edge of certain accounting concepts given the increasing complexity of transactions I was working as a commercial lender. Also, my continued involvement in organiza-tions affiliated with the CBPA allowed me to network with other professionals and alums to help grow my business and learn from their best practices.”

Dia Poole, 1990 BA Administration: Information Management

President, California State University Alumni Council

I was fortunate to have so many excel-lent instructors – more than I can name – but Professor Emeritus Steve Levy

stands out for his courses on organiza-tional theory and behavior. As a full-time county employee by day and student by night, I could apply what I learned from his mastery of the subject to the real-time organizational challenges I faced in the workplace.

“My CSUSB business degree opened the doors to more opportunities than I can ac-curately quantify. I graduated prepared to think critically and act decisively in my per-sonal life and professional environment, and that led to a career of public service at the highest levels of California state government. Twenty-five years later, I con-tinue to share my story with anyone who will listen in hopes of encouraging them to pursue their degree and to support the CSU system. It is my responsibility and the responsibility of every alumnus to ensure that the next generation of students, their families, and their communities can reap the benefits that a CSUSB education un-questionably provides.” `

James Ramos, 2002 BS Administration: Accounting

Chair, San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors

“As a first generation college student, get-ting accepted to CSUSB was a defining mo-ment in my educational journey. I had the opportunity to not only obtain a college degree but to preserve Native American Culture serving as the director of the Cali-fornia Native American Day Conference held annually at CSUSB. Professionally, the education that I obtained at CSUSB gave me the skills to successfully run my own businesses.”

Lex Reddy, 1988/1996 MBA/MS Business Administration: General Management

Health Services Administration CEO – Alecto Healthcare Services

“There is always something to learn and you can always learn as you grow in your career.

CSUSB has taught me that not all answers are available in one place and knowing where to get the answers you need some-times is more important.”

Jean Stephens, 1991 MBA Business Administration

CEO – RSM International

“Attending Cal State and obtaining my MBA in finance added to my undergradu-ate studies in accounting so together I had a strong foundation on which to build my career. The program at CSUSB was solid. The flexibility of evening classes allowed me to pursue my MBA while working full time.”


ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE

Obamacare and DOMA – Through an Academic’s Scrutiny

Particularly, in Windsor v. United States, in which the U.S. Supreme Court held the DOMA ban on same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional, Justice Anthony Kenne-dy, writing for the majority, utilized a likely liberty rights analysis, recognizing that the same-sex couple’s marriage was unconstitutionally banned from the federal definition of marriage and the estate tax marital deduction. Both be-fore and after the Windsor decision, Dorocak sought to apply Justice Kennedy’s analysis to Obamacare.

In National Federation of Independent Business v. Sebe-lius, the Supreme Court held Obamacare to be constitu-tional as an exercise of the taxing power. Dorocak drew on Justice Kennedy’s liberty analysis in an earlier case, Law-rence v. Texas, to argue that, although the Supreme Court had held Obamacare constitutional, the health care leg-islation was unconstitutional for violating liberty rights. Subsequent to Dorocak’s article in University of New Hampshire Law Review, Justice Kennedy wrote the Wind-sor majority opinion holding DOMA unconstitutional.

And, subsequent to the Windsor case, Dorocak wrote concerning Kennedy’s opinion in that case and how it might be applied to Obamacare in George Mason Univer-sity Civil Rights Law Journal and Connecticut Public Inter-est Law Journal, respectively. Now, given the prevalence of the liberty or liberty rights analysis, Dorocak has asked

what would a libertarian tax look like in a manuscript to be published winter 2016 in South Texas Law Review.

Dorocak is a certified public accountant in Califor-nia and Ohio, holds a doctor of jurisprudence from Case Western Reserve University, a master of law from the Uni-versity of Florida, has practiced as a tax accountant and tax attorney, is an IRS trial attorney and private practice attorney, and a CPA in management positions in national and local accounting firms for a number of years before entering academia full-time.

Dorocak has published a number of articles, nearly all on taxation. His work has appeared in Journals such as Akron Tax Journal, Cardozo Journal of Law and Literature, Case Western Reserve Law Review, Connecticut Public In-terest Law Journal, Cumberland Law Review, Dayton Law Review, George Mason Civil Rights Law Journal, The Jour-nal of S Corporation Taxation, Maine Law Review, Monthly Digest of Tax Articles, University of New Hampshire Law Review, North Carolina First Amendment Law Review, The Ohio CPA Journal, Ohio Northern Law Review, Santa Clara Law Review, Seton Hall Journal of Sport Law, South Dako-ta Law Review, Syracuse Law Review, Tax Notes, Taxation for Accountants, Taxation and Finance for Business, Taxes, Temple Political and Civil Rights Law Review, West Virginia Law Review, and Virginia Tax Review.

John R. Dorocak, a professor in accounting and finance, published a trilogy of articles in law reviews concerning the constitutionality of two of the most controversial laws passed in modern day history, the Defense of Marriage Law (DOMA) and the Affordable Care Act, more commonly known as Obamacare.

Leading a team of 43 scholars from around the world, Van Wart looked at the training of top civil servants. The research is important because the success and fate of gov-ernments around the globe is not only based on the suc-cess of political leaders, but also on the top civil servants who lead the apparatus of government.

His new book (with Hondeghem and Schwella), Leader-ship and Culture: Comparative Models of Top Civil Servant Training (Palgrave, 2015) is an important one-of-a-kind study that not only provides information about the where, what, and how of the training of top civil servants from different continents, but also offers up-to-date cultural, political, economic background on both larger countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany, and also smaller countries such as Colombia, Namibia and Belgium.

Van Wart, who was the inaugural recipient of the Cal State San Bernardino Outstanding Scholarship, Research, Creative Activities Award in 2014, has been a distinguished researcher and visiting professor in Belgium and Hong

Kong in recent years, has approximately 100 publications with 11 of them books. He is the most cited researcher in the world related to the leadership in public organizations and has received many awards for his scholarly work such as his work on the evaluation of transformational lead-ership was recently the focus of the prestigious London School of Economics politics blog.

Van Wart joined CSUSB in 2005 as the chair of the De-partment of Public Administration. He also served as the interim dean of the College of Business and Public Admin-istration prior to the current dean.

Meet the FirmsFor more than 30 years, the students of Beta Alpha Psi

and the Accounting Association have hosted an evening where representatives from local and regional account-ing firms, and representatives from government agen-cies and businesses can meet accounting and finance stu-dents. Over the years, the interaction between firms and students has resulted in hundreds of internships, many of them leading to full-time employment for students upon graduation.

According to Daniel Lopez, vice president of operations for Beta Alpha Psi, the 2015 “Meet the Firms” hosted 26 ac-counting firms, governmental agencies, and private busi-nesses with more than 85 accounting professionals and 220 students in attendance.

Accounting major Corey Gomez talks with Lacie Wollman, market-ing coordinator and Daniel Treat, tax manager, both from TRS during the Beta Alpha Psi Accounting Meet the Firms conference at CSUSB.
