With the hectic schedules of university professors these days, how can they develop a sense of community with other faculty members? The Hankamer School of Business faculty are often too busy with teaching, research, consulting, and other obligations to venture out of their offices and mingle with one another. To encourage professors to spend more time interacting in the faculty lounge, the Baylor chapter sponsored morning refreshments four times during the semester. Students advertised with flyers in the departmental mailboxes and then provided donuts, bagels, and morning newspapers at 7:30 am in the lounge. This simple act has helped to build more unity within the business school.
