Room 242 KoBC ]]> Love School of Business presents Dean’s Awards for Excellence /u/news/2005/04/18/love-school-of-business-presents-deans-awards-for-excellence/ Mon, 18 Apr 2005 14:51:00 +0000 /u/news/2005/04/18/love-school-of-business-presents-deans-awards-for-excellence/ The Martha and Spencer Love School of Business recognized this year’s winners of the dean’s awards at a luncheon meeting with the Dean’s Board of Advisors meeting on Thursday April 14. The recipients of the LSB faculty awards were:

  • Dr. Jayoti (Tina) Das, second from right, received the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Teaching. Dr. Das was recognized for her command of the subject, ebullient 消消犯 style, and her dedication to the learning of each student, in both her 消消犯 and MBA programs.
  • Dr. Kevin O’Mara, far left, received the Dean’s Award for Exemplary Service. Dr. O’Mara was recognized for his outstanding leadership of the Elon MBA Program since 1997. During his tenure as chair of the program the quality of the program, the quality of incoming students, and the reputation of the program have improved greatly, as reflected by the fact that the Elon MBA program will be included in the 2006 edition of the Princeton Review’s Best Business Schools.
  • Dr. Betsy Stevens, second from left, received the Dean’s Award for Exemplary Scholarship. Dr. Stevens was recognized for her several peer-reviewed publications (five in press this year) and for her work in corporate ethics, a theme at the center of the mission of the Love School of Business.

Beginning in 2004, the Love School of Business also presents an award to an individual whose contributions to 消消犯 – including the Love School of Business – represent excellence in service. This year’s non-LSB recipient of the Dean’s Award for Exemplary Service was Dr. Mark Albertson, far right, Elon Registrar. Dr. Albertson received an award for his outstanding contributions as Registrar of 消消犯. Mark was recognized as well for his sustained leadership of the Carret Competition, established by investor Phillip Carret at the suggestion of Mark Albertson several years ago, and for his continued support for the highly popular Winter Term course The Business of NASCAR.

Also recognized for their leadership of their departments were outgoing department chairs Dr. Matt Valle (Chair of the Department of Business Administration for the past four years) and Dr. Greg Lilly (Chair of the Department of Economics for the past six years).

Steve DeLoach to Present at LSB Discussion Paper Series on Sept. 24 /u/news/2004/09/24/steve-deloach-to-present-at-lsb-discussion-paper-series-on-sept-24/ Fri, 24 Sep 2004 20:55:00 +0000 /u/news/2004/09/24/steve-deloach-to-present-at-lsb-discussion-paper-series-on-sept-24/ Be sure to attend the first of this year’s LSB Discussion Paper Series.

Date: Friday September 24

Time: 2:45

Place: Long 106

Speaker: Steven DeLoach, Associate Professor of Economics, Love School of Business, 消消犯

Title: The (other) Truth about Social Regulation and Trade

Steve will present results from his latest research with co-author Tina Das. In this presentation, DeLoach and Das investigate the controversial relationship between international trade and social regulations such as labor and environmental standards. Fearing a “race to the bottom” in terms of such standards, activists have been promoting the establishment of minimum international standards to be enforced by the World Trade Organization. In fact, it is now law in the USA that all bilateral trade negotiations must seek to “promote respect for worker rights and the rights of children…” (Trade Promotion Authority, Section 2102a). To date, however, the WTO has been reluctant to allow the creation of any barriers to trade based on process standards alone, arguing that standards unrelated to product quality unfairly hurt foreign competition. Is this true? In this presentation, Das and DeLoach challenge the conventional wisdom of those who claim that high social standards necessarily hurt competitiveness.

Join us for Steve’s presentation and for refreshments on the Long patio afterward.
