Research Interests:

  • My current research focuses on student performance in introductory courses and factors that affect student success and retention. These topics relate very well to my administrative roles as CBE Assistant Dean and Director of the Center for Economic Education. My main duties as Assistant Dean include working with department chairs on course scheduling and curriculum development, as well as monitoring student performance for admission to the College. I also have responsibility for the Orientation Seminar (CBE 100) that introduces new CBE students to university resources, degree programs in the College, and requirements for graduation.
