It's Purdue-IU, and they're both on the road

The business school deans of Purdue and IU are getting together, but not on the field or court. Richard A. Cosier of Purdue's Krannert School of Management and Dean Dan Dalton of Indiana's Kelley School of Business will be in Columbus at noon Monday, May 8, to talk about and listen to ideas about how their schools can aid in state economic development. Cosier and Kelley will be guests at the Rotary luncheon at the Donner Center in Columbus.
