Why call a magazine Everett? <\/strong>You\u2019re not the first person to ask, and you certainly won\u2019t be the last. It\u2019s the name of the School of Management\u2019s founder. But Everett W. Lord was more than just a guy who opened a school. He was something rare in history\u2014a truly transformative thinker.<\/p>\n

Before we tell you about the new magazine that bears his name, we\u2019d like you to meet him.<\/p>\n

In 1913, Everett W. Lord founded SMG. He also founded an approach to management\u2014and to learning about it\u2014that still inspires us today. Lord thought business should be concerned with supporting democracy and human welfare, not just profits. He stood up for kids who were being put to work\u2014and maimed\u2014in the fishing industry, developed a public school system in Puerto Rico, and provided a framework for teaching those who would lead an American business revolution. When other universities decided they had too many women enrolled and schemed to exclude them, Lord pushed Boston University down a more progressive path, urging it to find ways of attracting more men instead.<\/p>\n

That was Everett.<\/p>\n

And this<\/a> is Everett<\/em>.<\/strong> Every issue will offer you a brave and authentic perspective on business management. SMG experts will help you stay agile, keeping you ahead of the latest advances in everything from technology to marketing; students and alums will share their tips for being more successful.<\/p>\n

What Everett W. Lord would\u2019ve thought about this magazine, we can\u2019t tell.<\/p>\n

But, we think it, like him and the School he founded, will be transformative, educational, and rewarding. This magazine is a loosening of the tie and we hope it excites and inspires you. Let us know what you think at smgedit@bu.edu<\/a>.
