PROGRAM TRADITIONS
Those associated with the BRM program have always prided themselves as being like a family, with close relationships between faculty and students, within the student peer group, and between graduates and faculty. This sense of family was fostered in a number of ways including small class sizes; a comprehensive advising system; using graduates as instructors, guest speakers, and as resource people; establishing awards that recognize outstanding contributions of students and graduates; faculty involvement in initiatives of the Student professional association; and student involvement in the profession by attending professional conferences. Two traditions in particular served to foster a close connection between faculty, students, and alumni: the academic orientation designed to welcome students into the program, and the graduation breakfast to recognize and celebrate student success on graduation day.
