I am delighted to announce that Dr. Yili (Kevin) Hong will serve as the new Director of our Ph.D. program. Our doctoral students are the stewards of our discipline and we look forward to his leadership in taking our Ph.D. program to new heights.

In our Working Wisdom podcast, it was a pleasure and privilege to chat with Dr. Derek Avery of the Management and Leadership department. I found the conversation intellectually stimulating and inspiring, and I hope you do too!

Our final story is about our Dean, Dr. Paul A. Pavlou, who is leading the way in our external grant funding initiative to be part of a team awarded an NSF grant.

I thank all our Bauer faculty and doctoral students for their efforts in making Bauer a world-class business school.
