It is my pleasure and my privilege to have our university serve as co-hosts for this wonderful gathering of scholars, practitioners, and students.  \nSince 1840, Bridgewater State University has transformed the lives of countless students. As we prepare these individuals for lifelong learning, growth, and advancement, we do so by adhering closely to our University motto—“Not to be ministered unto, but to minister”. Bridgewater State has remained steadfast in its commitment to empower individuals and advance the public good.  \nWe are proud to partner with NEDSI to support their annual conference where knowledge is shared, impactful research is presented, and scholars can interact with practitioners in a dynamic and collegial environment. I wish you all the very best for a productive and memorable conference experience.  \nSincerely,  \nKarim Ismaili  \nExecutive Vice President and Provost Bridgewater State University  \nOn behalf of the Ricciardi College of Business at Bridgewater State University, I would like to welcome you to Cambridge, Massachusetts for the 53rd Annual Conference of the Northeast Decision Sciences Institute (NEDSI) . We are delighted to serve as co-host for this year’s event and we look forward to the sharing of scholarly research, knowledge, and experiences by each attendee!  \nHere in the Ricciardi College of Business (RCOB), we offer majors in Accounting & Finance, Management & Marketing, and Aviation. As we deliver courses in these disciplines, we pride ourselves on advancing the 3 pillars of our academic foundation. The first pillar is our rigorous business curriculum that has resulted in wonderful achievements for our students—from our accounting students who earn some of the highest first-time pass rates on the CPA exam, to our flight students who consistently obtain high first-time pass rates on their FAA exams, to our management students who successfully matriculate through our SHRM-certified HR major.  \nThe second pillar is our emphasis on Experiential Learning. Through our Collaborative University Business Experiences (CUBEs) Initiative, students work directly with local/regional/national businesses to apply business theories to real-world problems that provide solutions for the company.
