A Conversation with Dr. 棕褐色

What would you tell a student who is thinking about attending A&移动商务?

If you are interested in a two-way 教学 and 学习 experience between faculty and students, this is the place for you. You will find strategic opportunities and challenges that will allow you to flourish as an adult learner.

What draws you to your discipline?

I am drawn to higher education as a fascinating and challenging multi-disciplinary field of study that addresses its significance as an important passport to societal, economic and personal progressions. Higher education as a field of study covers organizational theory, 治理, 领导, strategic planning, 评估, 金融, 教学, 学习, research and service to its constituents and communities.

Tell us about a project you are currently working on or recently completed.

I am currently in the process of writing a textbook on research methodology, which addresses the quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods approaches to research or the discovery of new forms of knowledge and ideas.
