Elevating Business Education
Information Systems, Management, and Marketing Departments
The Department of Information Systems, Management, and Marketing is home to over 1,300 students pursuing degrees in Business Analytics, Information Systems, Management, and Marketing. Our faculty are the driving force behind innovative teaching, impactful research, and transformative student experiences.
Our Funding Priorities
This Giving Day, we invite you to support two key initiatives that directly enhance student learning and career readiness:
Management Faculty Development
Faculty in our Management program shape the next generation of leaders, strategists, and entrepreneurs. Your gift on Giving Day supports professional development opportunities such as:
- Presenting research at national conferences
- Attending leadership and organizational behavior symposiums
- Collaborating with global experts on cutting-edge management practices
When Management faculty engage in professional development, they bring back fresh insights, real-world case studies, and global perspectives that enrich the classroom. Students gain exposure to emerging leadership trends, benefit from expanded faculty networks, and often participate in research projects that prepare them for graduate school or competitive careers. Your gift to the FCB Dean's Fund for Innovation will help support this initiative.
Marketing faculty help students master the art and science of consumer behavior, branding, and digital strategy. Your generosity enables faculty to:
- Share research at top marketing conferences
- Stay current with evolving technologies and analytics tools
- Build partnerships with industry leaders and academic peers
Faculty development in Marketing means students learn from professors who are deeply connected to the pulse of the industry. Whether it’s a new approach to social media strategy or insights from a global branding summit, these experiences translate into richer coursework, stronger mentorship, and better career preparation. Your gift to the Marketing Area Fund will help support this initiative.
Why Your Gift Matters
Your generosity helps us create a thriving academic community where faculty are empowered to lead and students are inspired to succeed.
Contributions to these funds directly support:
- Faculty travel and research presentations
- Enhanced curriculum and student engagement
- Opportunities for student-faculty collaboration
- Department-wide innovation and excellence
Join Us in Fueling the Future
Every gift—of every size—makes a lasting impact. By supporting Management faculty development and Marketing faculty development, you’re investing in the people who shape NAU’s business students into confident, capable professionals.
