A Message From the Dean
The academic year saw the School of Business advancing its strengths. Influential faculty research appeared in top-ranked academic journals. We convened gatherings that connected the business and finance sectors with global changemakers. And we continued to provide powerful experiential learning opportunities to our students.
Technology touches all aspects of our lives—at an unprecedented pace—and several of our faculty members stood out for their scholarship addressing technology’s impact on the markets. Associate Professor of Decision Sciences Long He’s work on sustainable transportation appeared in impactful publications this year. Social media and crowdfunding were the focus of much-cited works by Yi-Chun “Chad” Ho, an associate professor of information systems and technology management who received this year’s Senior Faculty Research Award. And Professor of Decision Sciences Miguel Lejeune published research on mathematical models that optimize the use of drones to deliver medication for drug overdoses.
This research is particularly noteworthy because it dovetails with the school’s strategic plan, which underscores innovative research with impact.

The Role of Gender in Shaping the Destination Service Quality and Its Consequences
What makes tourists return to locations time after time? Cevat Tosun, the Eisenhower Chair and professor of tourism studies and management, found that it depends on whether you ask a woman or a man. Research by Tosun, who directs the Master of Science in Tourism, Hospitality and Event Management program, found female travelers more interested in the “hospitality” they received, while male travelers focused on local transport and accommodations.
