Stanford GSB: Stanford Business November 1999

Change is a Constant
AS WE PREPARE for next May's 75th anniversary celebration of the Business School, we are reminded of one of the defining elements of the GSB's past quarter century: the Public Management Program. Founded as a training ground for government managers, the program has evolved to incorporate all of the public sector and, through activities like ACT, affects many non-PMP alumni/ae and students in their dealings outside the for-profit world.

Like the PMP and the School itself, this magazine continues to change over time. Once a mimeographed, typewritten newsletter called the Bulletin, Stanford Business had its last complete makeover in June 1997. Since then, we have continued to tweak the design and, beginning with this issue, we have also changed our dates of publication. The switch from March/June/September/December to February/May/August/November allows us to bring you more timely information about the School. For example, we can now bring late September admissions statistics to you in the November issue, which arrives in most U.S. mailboxes toward the end of October. In future years, June's commencement will be reported in August.
