Dean’s Leadership Celebration<br />
Sponsored by PEMCO<br />
The inaugural Dean’s Leadership Celebration was<br />
held at the Seattle Grand Hyatt on June 1 to celebrate<br />
student success, faculty excellence, and volunteer<br />
leadership in the <strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Business</strong>. This event was<br />
sponsored by Pemco Insurance, Banner Bank,<br />
Horizon Air, and LeMaster & Daniels PLLC.<br />
At the event, Jerry Burtenshaw (’56 Hotel<br />
Restaurant Administration) was honored with the<br />
second Dean’s Distinguished Leadership Award for<br />
exemplary leadership, philanthropy, and service to<br />
the <strong>College</strong>, including establishing the Burtenshaw<br />
Lecture Series and the Calvin Brett Burtenshaw<br />
Memorial Scholarship with his wife Angelina.<br />
“Jerry Burtenshaw has been instrumental in helping<br />
the school enhance its quality and national image<br />
through his leadership and financial support,” says<br />
Terry Umbreit, director <strong>of</strong> the School <strong>of</strong> <strong>Hospitality</strong><br />
<strong>Business</strong> <strong>Management</strong>. “I can’t think <strong>of</strong> a more<br />
deserving person for this award—he has made a huge<br />
difference in the live <strong>of</strong> so many students.”<br />
After Scott Carson (’72 <strong>Business</strong> Administration)<br />
spoke to attendees about the importance <strong>of</strong> volunteer<br />
leadership, Dean Eric Spangenberg presented Scott<br />
and wife Linda Carson with an engraved chair to<br />
commemorate the establishment <strong>of</strong> the Boeing Scott and<br />
Linda Carson Endowed Chair in marketing.<br />
“This event was a wonderful way to recognize and<br />
thank our outstanding students, faculty, and donors,”<br />
says Spangenberg. “It was the beginning <strong>of</strong> a great CB<br />
tradition.” The second annual Dean’s Leadership Celebration<br />
is scheduled for May 17, 2007 in Seattle. For event<br />
