About

One of the hallmarks of a university is the contribution faculty make through intellectual contributions:  from testing new applications of theories and developing new models for teaching and learning to evaluating behavior in the workplace or environment and exploring how global events or decisions impact our world. The intellectual work of the faculty brings cutting edge discussions to our classrooms and prepares our students for the ever-evolving business world. Just a few recent examples of faculty publications:

  • Management professors Susan Williams and Chris Scherpereel collaborated with Lecturer Scott Hoefle and retired faculty member Will Ott to publish “Course Design Process to Create a Coordinated, Integrated, Experiential Core Operations Management Course for Business Majors” in Decision Sciences Journal of Innovative Education.
  • Professor T.S. Amer (Accounting) and Senior Lecturer Todd Johnson (Information Systems Management) received an acceptance of their paper, ““The Perceived Hazard of Sound Scheme and Desktop Theme Auditory Elements – Experimental Results and Implications for Adaptable User-Interface Design” which will be published in Volume 17, Issue 1 of the International Journal of Technology and Human Interaction.
