| At Undergraduate Level: |
|
| While at Murray State University, between
1995 and 1997 I contributed in a number of ways towards “Reaffirmation
of Accreditation” of the College of Business and Public Affairs in October
of 1997.
Some of my specific and demonstrable roles and contributions were the following: |
||
Attending all College meetings between 1995 and 1997 towards AACSB-reaccreditation. |
||
|
Writing and submitting a variety of documents requested by either the Dean,
the Departmental Chair, or the AACSB Peer Review Team comprising Professor
Aaron Kelly (Ohio University), Professor Bruce Blaylock (Radford University),
and Professor Richard Neel (University of North Carolina at Charlotte). |
||
Contributing directly to the College’s Self-Evaluation Report dated September
26, 1997:
|
||
|
My MGT 590 [Business Policy] class was one of two classes visited by the
Peer Review Team between October 19 and 22, 1997. In readiness for the
same, I had my students do a project on: How Business Policy Integrates
other Business and Related Disciplines. I had assigned the project at the
beginning of the semester, because I was certain the Team would ask such
a question. When they visited the class on Tuesday, 21st October 1997,
they asked precisely that question: the students were ready, because they
had just submitted their final reports the previous Thursday, October 16,
1997. |
