Our Mission The mission of the John Cook School of Business is excellence in business education inspired by the Jesuit ideals of seeking truth, educating the whole person, and serving others. History of the School Founded in 1910, the John Cook School of Business is the 15th oldest business school in the nation. Although Saint Louis University had awarded commercial certificates to students since 1862, the students were still part of the regular collegiate department of the University. The idea of a separate school within a university for studying business was a new concept in the United States, even in the early 20th century. In 1910, however, Saint Louis University established a separate School of Commerce and Finance (C&F) due primarily to the hard work and persistence of Father Joseph L. Davis, S.J. Besides practical training in disciplines such as accounting and economics, Father Davis also believed that the modern businessman needed a general background in the liberal arts, particularly literature and grammar. In the early years of the School, classes met in Du Bourg Hall. But in 1931, C & F moved into its permanent home in a new building on Lindell Boulevard slightly west of the Law School. This building eventually would be named Davis-Shaughnessy Hall in honor of Father Davis and Martin Shaughnessy, a prominent St. Louis businessman, a graduate of the University and the primary donor for the construction of the building. A Comittment For the Future As the oldest business school west of the Mississippi, in the heart of a large metropolitan area, the school is well connected and respected in the business community. Classes are small so that professors and classmates can work together closely. At the same time, we think big when it comes to career planning, internships and opportunities to make contacts with business professionals in several disciplines of choice.

The mission of Portfolio Gallery and Education Center is to educate and enrich lives and foster a greater awareness of American artist of African American heritage. History: Saint Louis artist and educator Robert A. Powell founded Portfolio in 1989. At the time he recognized that even African American artist such as Gordan Parks Jacob Lawrence Varnette Honeywood and Richard Hunt (Just to name a few) were relatively obscured in the visual arts world. He also understood the important role of history and culture in our community. Powell started off as a one man organizer- administrator, Curator, Exhibit installer/De-installer, fundraiser and sometimes even carpenter. Portfolio Gallery showcases and provides and following services: - Local, Regional, National/International renowned African American Artist - Direct artist education to Children, Adults, and Developmentally disabled persons. - Works with educators to enhance traditional arts in the school setting - Offers lectures, Demonstrations, and Opportunities for cultural and intellectual exchange.

Components of the Minor Why Middle East Studies? SLU's Center for International Studies is excited to offer a minor in Middle Eastern Studies. While programs at other universities focus only on the role of Islam in this region in the contemporary era, the Middle East Studies minor at SLU offers courses that examine the roles of Jewish, Christian and Islamic cultures from ancient to modern times. We cover the geographic area of the traditional Middle East and also the areas influenced by or politically tied to the cultures of the Middle East, such as Spain and Africa. This broad introduction to the region provides a strong foundation on which to pursue further study. Language Requirement? This minor requires two semesters (6 credit hours) of university-level Arabic or equivalent proficiency; further language study is encouraged. Native speakers of Arabic are exempt from the language requirement, but must take an additional elective in its place. Students who are proficient in another Middle Eastern language should discuss their course of study with the director of the minor. Capstone Requirement Students will revise a research paper that was originally written for one of the elective courses from the minor. The student will present the revised paper during an annual capstone event their senior year. Courses A variety of electives allows students to tailor the minor to their individual interests. Students are required to take a minimum of 16 credits from approved courses in consultation with the Middle East Studies director. The Middle East Studies minor enhances other international programs offered at SLU, giving students a special perspective on a crucial part of the world. Study Abroad Though studying abroad is not required for the minor, SLU offers a wealth of Study Abroad programs to give students a comprehensive learning experience by studying in the Middle East in order to gain an even better understanding of this region. Stay tuned for future opportunities to study abroad in the region. "Spending a semester studying abroad in Morocco was one of the most transformative experiences I have had in college. My time abroad allowed me to completely immerse myself in Moroccan culture and traditions; a cross-cultural experience that I was able to bring back to SLU's campus." - Sara Rahim '14 Middle East Studies Faculty Mamoun Benmamoun, Ph.D. John Cook School of Business David Borgmeyer, Ph.D. International Studies Claire Gilbert, Ph.D. Department of History Morris Kalliny, Ph.D. John Cook School of Business Cathleen A.
