2009 Dean's Scholars

The reputation of the College of Business as an international leader is built on a foundation of published research. While our faculty strive to inform and mold the business leaders of the future, they also endeavor to contribute to the study and definition of business practices necessary to move us forward.  Each year the college recognizes the efforts of “Dean’s Scholars” who, within the past academic year, had articles accepted in the most prestigious journals within their area of study.
