Marriott School of Management. Global Management Center
In 2002, the Brigham Young University and the University of Utah's joint Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER) split apart. BYU's center was renamed the Global Management Center, and its administration was reorganized. The Center was housed in the Marriott School of Management and continued to receive federal funding as one of the nation's few CIBERs. In 2006, it was renamed the Kay and Yvonne Whitmore Global Management Center. It was directed by C. Brooke Derr from 2002 to 2006.
