He also helped launch new master’s degree programs, elevated research and teaching activities of the faculty and created the Center for Student Engagement.
Trevor Collier took over as interim dean after Mittelstaedt’s death and then became the permanent dean.
The Mittelstaedt scholarship, created through donations from more than 50 donors, including his wife Patrice and their two children, will benefit business students who have financial need. Gifts ranged from $20 to more than $15,000.
Along with advising staff, the center houses staff who assist business students with career services and graduate program advising and admission, as well as peer student advisers.
