Ritter gets tour of UNC College of Business.
Gov. Bill Ritter toured the Monfort College of Business at the University of Northern Colorado Friday morning, learning about the school”s strong national ranking and efforts to meet the needs of Colorado”s 21st century economy.

Although UNC is on spring break, a group of professors and several students joined the hour-long tour of Kepner Hall. Leading the tour were Tim Jares, Monfort College of Business interim dean, and UNC President Kay Norton.

Ritter, a first-generation college graduate in his family and whose wife graduated with an education degree from UNC, was told that 42 percent of the business school”s graduates are first-generation college students.

The Monfort College of Business in 2004 was awarded the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, the only business school to receive the award out of 72 recipients.
