Huntsman Faculty & Staff
The Huntsman School of Business aims to become the leading undergraduate program in the Intermountain West. Our faculty and staff have undergone significant changes, 75 percent of faculty and 85 percent of staff have joined since 2010, with a focus on building a culture of servant-leadership and prioritizing student success. Financial resources from differential tuition and a growing donor base have allowed strategic investments in achieving our mission.
These initiatives resulted in positive outcomes: better student placements, increased faculty engagement in research and service-based learning, and successful participation in competitions. Faculty scholarship and involvement in curriculum and program development have also improved. Engagement with the business community, supporting student programs, and participating in professional development opportunities have seen substantial growth.
Two notable achievements showcase the School's evolution: the opening of Huntsman Hall in March 2016 and the joint $50 million gift from the Huntsman Foundation and the Charles Koch Foundation announced in May 2017. Huntsman Hall, a cutting-edge teaching facility covering 125,000 square feet, exemplifies the School's commitment to students and creating a world-class learning environment.
The generous Huntsman/Koch gift has allowed for a substantial expansion of the Huntsman Scholar Program and the establishment of the Center for Growth and Opportunity, a research-oriented center affiliated with the Department of Economics and Finance. Both the gift and the building reflect the strides the School has made in the last decade and a culture of excellence that focuses on student success.
