3. Because the Marriott School MBA program receives substantial financial support from the tithes of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the faculty and administration are committed to advancing the mission of the Church as we operate a nationally recognized MBA program.

Please describe ways that the program might realize these goals and what role you might play in those efforts.
