Nancy Anderson
I love business-- every facet of it! My goal is to ignite students' passion about the world of business and encourage them to go beyond simple lists and terms. Why do businesses succeed? Why do they fail? Critical and creative thinking in business is a must, so I push students to "think outside the box." Also, because we are a Christian institution, we address ethical issues. I believe faith and success in business are not mutually exclusive but must be intertwined. In a world of scoundrels and scandals from Wall Street to Main Street, I hope to give students the tools for success without compromising their integrity and faith. After all, the reputation of Mississippi College depends on the good works and business achievements of our alumni.
