During the academic year of 2004-2005, the Business Program faculty at Brooklyn College have been quite active with numerous scholarly activities.  There were 20 journal articles published or accepted for publication.  Also, two of the faculty have had considerable success with the distribution and sale of their books.  Besides scholarly journals, faculty have written for magazines to further disseminate their work to the lay public.  Two faculty members have obtained grants.  Faculty have made or are scheduled to present 25 different presentations, with some being included in conference proceedings.  Faculty have been interviewed and quoted in newspapers, radio, and television both nationally and internationally.  Faculty continue to serve as editor-in-chief and on the editorial boards of numerous publications.  Three faculty members have won teaching awards.  Contact information for faculty are listed at the end of this newsletter.

 

Sincerely,

Joshua Fogel, PhD
