Dear Fellow Deans,

Now that summer is here, many of us expected to be taking a much-needed break. Instead, we are all hard at work planning for the restart of school this fall. The business of academia must continue!

Best regards and stay safe,
Rajib Sanyal, PhD

IMPACT—Faculty Scholarship

Baker, PhD , professor of accounting, received the 2019 Best Paper Award from the Academy of Accounting Historians Section of the American Accounting Association for “Bookkeeper-Controller-CFO: The Rise of the Chief Financial and Chief Accounting Officer.” The paper by Zachary Johnson , PhD , associate professor of marketing, titled “Good Guys Can Finish First: How Brand Reputation Affects Extension Evaluations,” published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology , was one of the most read and the top downloaded paper in 2018–2019.
INNOVATION—Analytics Awards
