Faculty

Bissett School of Business faculty combine a wealth of achievements and experience
in the business world with their solid academic credentials. Many continue to work in their respective fields or remain involved through participation in local and national associations and conferences, and as adjudicators, evaluators, commentators, and consultants.

Faculty and staff members alike demonstrate a genuine commitment to students and the program by developing innovative learning materials, working directly with students and dedicating the time and energy required to ensure their success.
