The Wall Street crisis has left an indelible mark on America's financial ledger.

The Dow Jones plunged, rebounded, and plunged again. Banks across the United States—and the world—have new names as the crisis ushered in a record number of bankruptcies and mergers. Wall Street turned to Capitol Hill for help, while Main Street businesses struggle to adapt to the changing business landscape.

The implications for today's business schools are profound. As events of this financial crisis unfold in "real-time," the faculty of the College of Business and Economics continues to address the issues in the classroom, as well as provide thought leadership for the community at-large.
