Research at the School of Business

Research committee:  Kevin K. Boeh (chair), Linda Gibson, Susan Harmon, Janet Mobus

The faculty of business hosts an ongoing series of academic research seminars as part of its commitment to scholarship.  The seminars are open to all members of the PLU community. Seminar topics (or papers) should be relevant to a business discipline and typically (but are not limited to) original research or a focus on new/unique/interesting research methods.

 
The research committee encourages speakers from outside the School of Business, with a particular emphasis on cross-disciplinary research, and research that relates to the School of Business mission statement. Contact a member of the research committee to express interest in speaking or leading a seminar.
