I am happy to showcase two stories in this newsletter. The first news story features Prof. Funda Sahin who identifies an interesting "win-win" in the use of sustainable products. The second story welcomes Jamey Rootes, retired ex-President of the Houston Texans, and underscores our commitment to be relevant in both research and teaching.

As we wind down the semester, I invite you to mark your calendar for our college-wide Bauer Distinguished Speaker series webinar on May 12 from 1 – 2.30 p.m. with Dr. Ravi Aron.

With warm regards and best wishes,

Dr. Vanessa Patrick

Bauer Professor of Marketing
