Growing Our Ranks

Five new faculty members have joined the Lundquist College of Business this fall. Some are up-and-coming talent. Others are already renowned in their fields. Their areas of expertise span many topics, including sports business, statistical analysis and mathematical optimization, disclosure policy, executive risk-taking, management, and more. With the addition of these five, the number of new professors and instructors hired in the past four years comes to a grand total of twenty-nine, a number that reflects the college's growing enrollment--and the continuing expansion of our global and academic ambitions.
