Students in the college work with Union Pacific, Walt Disney, Boot Barn, Saint-Gobain, Barefoot Campus Outfitter, L3Harris Technologies, Goldman Sachs, H-E-B and Amazon, among others, for internships and senior capstone projects to gain hands-on skills and knowledge. All programs within the college are fully accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Fewer than 6% of business schools worldwide are accredited by the AACSB, which is the premier business school accrediting body. “Dr. Pack’s impact will be felt for generations to come,” said Dr. Rajarshi Aroskar, Dean of the Dr. Sam Pack College of Business. At Tarleton State, he has already made his mark, supporting the food pantry, the President’s Circle, and the Dr. James and Kindall Hurley Scholarship Endowment. Additionally, the Tarleton State University Pack Automotive Group Intern Program provides Texans with learning opportunities that promote future career success. Last spring, he was presented with an honorary doctorate of humane letters from Tarleton State for his humanitarian and philanthropic contributions as well as a President’s Legacy Award for Excellence, Integrity and Respect at the Gala. Overall, he supports more than 300 nonprofits, service organizations and community events. “Dr. Pack has experienced success in all facets of life,” said State Rep. Shelby Slawson (District 59). “We will work tirelessly to ensure that the college named in his honor is the best of the best.” When discussing Dr. Pack’s life, State Sen. Brian Birdwell (District 22) focused on how his story will impact future generations. “As a self-made man, he will inspire Tarleton State students for years to come. His lifelong commitment to faith, family and the greater good is a tremendous example for others to follow.” In a journey filled with accomplishments and recognitions, Dr. Pack said that the university naming its College of Business in his honor is a distinction that stands above all. This is just the second time an academic college at Tarleton State has been named for an individual. “I’ve been honored in a lot of different ways, but it’s the greatest honor that has ever been bestowed upon me,” he said. “I will always be indebted to those who were instrumental in making this happen.” Learn more about the Dr. Sam Pack College of Business at www.tarleton.edu/cob.
