Raising the Standards…

“…today’s Michigan graduates will enter the marketplace armed with a considerable experience base that will be a model for business schools around the world.” ~ John R. Tozzi

President and CEO of Cambridge Investments Ltd.

“The technology and resources available to students in the Tozzi Center … rival the tools and resources of professional traders. Students who have the opportunity to learn in this classroom will clearly have an advantage when they leave.” ~ Richard G. Sloan

Bloomberg Professional Partnership• Thanks to a partnership with Bloomberg L.P., the

Ross School of Business is one of the first business schools in the world to offer an in-house Bloomberg Professional certification program to its students.

• The program, which has been adopted by many financial institutions and corporations worldwide, is designed to provide market professionals with the tools and resources to optimize their job performance.

"Prospective employers will know that with this certification, students at the U-M Business School have the skills to succeed in these uncertain times," adds Dolan. "It is a great supplement to a degree from one of the nation's top business schools." ~ Robert J. Dolan

Dean of the U-M Business School

• The objective of The Fund is long-term capital appreciation, using the S&P Mid Cap Index as a benchmark.

• The fund focuses on stocks of mid-capitalization U.S. companies with a quantitative investment style applied to mid-cap growth and value (blend) stocks.

DMC Initiatives Digital Asset Management System (DAMS)

DAMS Living Lab is working to develop a campus infrastructure that will enable faculty, students, and staff to manage, share and publish digital rich-media such as digital video, audio and 3D -- and do it as easily as they now manage text and numerical data.

Grant Opportunities <Collaborative Spaces> (GROCS) Provides collaborative space, equipment and funding

for student-initiated research. Working in teams, students employ rich media in collaborative academic projects.http://www.dc.umich.edu/dmc/grocs/index.html

An “All-Flex” space was created to house six student research teams in an 1,800 sq. ft. space where everything in the lab is on wheels and umbilicals. Students reconfigured the several times per day to accommodate collaboration and physical work space needs.

A peer-to-peer learning space for student research


Plenty of whiteboards, 801.11b/g; 100MBit E’net (Gigabit was available but went unused) and flexible physical space enabled teams to work how they wanted.


For design review days like this, the space is informally rearranged. Most teams used projectors for their design reviews. Here, musicians, computer science majors, education majors, artists and biologists give feedback on a project.


Workspaces could then be pulled together for a team consultation in less than a minute.


The dynamics of the space are quite complex, but in the final evaluation, the student research teams were highly enthusiastic about what the open, flexible quality of the space enabled in both their work and in their development as a community of peers.
