Business dean raises money
Sarowski tells council origin of school funds
By Heather Kirkwood
Kansan staff writer
Making sure the bills get paid is the biggest part of Tom Sarowski's job.
Sarowski, dean of business, spoke to about 30 students last night at the Undergraduate Business Council's meeting.
He told the students that since becoming dean of the school in November, he has spent 50 percent of his time beating the bushes for money to help support business school programs.
"The state will clearly not support the program to the fullest extent so we have to seek private support to prepare you and provide the kinds of resources you need to have a good career," Sarowski told the students.
He explained that the School of Business has a budget of about $9 million, only $6 million of which comes from the state. The other $3 million must be gathered from corporate donors or alumni.
That means Sarowski spends a lot of time traveling to meet with potential donors.
Jessica Willis, Omaha, Neb., senior, was surprised to hear that the dean spent so little time with students. "I thought he was more student oriented," she said. But she also said she thought his experience in the business world has
helped him in his job as dean.
Sarowski said that although he missed the contact he had with students when he was an instructor, he thought he was doing what was best for the school.
"I'm doing what I need to do to make the business school succeed," he said, explaining that he thought it was in the students' best interests that the reputation of the school improved.
Last fall the school was ranked 30th out of 294 accredited business schools polled by U.S. News and World Report.
Sarowski said he would like to be investing more of the school's resources in classroom technology and multimedia equipment, and strengthening the business school's program at the Regents Center.
"We have had a big increase in our enrollment there and we are not able to respond to that student group as much as we might like," he said. "We want to do more to develop that program and offer more classes."
But improving the business school is not only the responsibility of the dean, Sarowski said.
He encouraged students to study hard, take the end-of-semester course evaluations seriously, and help with the general upkeep of the building.
Eric J. Reid, Dodge City freshman, said he was thinking about majoring in business and came to see what the dean was like. "I thought it was interesting that he admitted he was not an academic," Reid said, "But I was impressed that he goes out and gets so much support for the school."
