Following an extensive search, the DeGroote School of Business is pleased to welcome five new professors to its growing faculty.
The group is comprised of Jenna Evans (Health Policy and Management), Ken Li (Accounting and Financial Management Services), Yang Pan (Marketing), Trish Ruebottom (Human Resources and Management), and Shashank "Sash" Vaid (Marketing).
"We are delighted with the outstanding new faculty we have hired," says Len Waverman, Dean, DeGroote School of Business. "They offer diverse global visions, and are outstanding researchers and excellent teachers. They augment deeply our ability to fulfill our vision of transforming business and society."
The new faculty members' research expertise covers a wide range of interdisciplinary topics, including:
- Health system performance and integration;
- the role of accounting information in capital markets;
- marketing analytics and marketing-finance interface;
- processes of social change in organizations; and
- the links between computer science and econometrics.
Since 2016, the school has recruited more than a dozen new faculty members to serve a large and-highly engaged student body, and to help usher DeGroote into the next decade.
