Mays added 13 new professors to the 2005 line-up, with the accounting and management departments gaining the most new faces for the upcoming academic year.

The effort is an expansion of Mays’ research and pedagogical depth, poising it, as one enthusiastic new faculty member explained, to become internationally known. Being given the time and funding to enhance research activities was a consistent No. 1 draw reported by the new faculty group. New Mays Faculty Fellow and Management Professor Bradley L. Kirkman caught the theme of the attraction of Mays when he told Mays Business Online: “they talk research and they support it.”

Senyo Tse
KPMG Professor of Accounting
“A few years down the road I hope to have collaborated with the researchers already here and those that we have coming in. I’d like to help generate and publish good research ideas that continue to distinguish our department as innovative.” Full Story >>

Thomas C. Omer
Professor of Accounting
“I like to work on questions that I don’t know the answer to, and I instill in my students the desire to do the same thing. The world is an unknown, there is no textbook or answer key when you graduate, and you’ve got to be able to find the answers for your clients.” Full Story >>

Anwer Ahmed
Associate Professor of Accounting
“My research goal is to continue to publish in the very best accounting journals. I will be able to do that more effectively at Mays because of the support and commitment to research excellence and quality teaching I find here.” Full Story >>

Bradley L. Kirkman
Associate Professor of Management
Mays Faculty Fellow
“I have not yet been to a school where there’s such an emphasis on research. Mays is for me the chance to do what I do where it’s a way of life — they talk research and they support it.” Full Story >>

James N. Myers
Associate Professor of Accounting
“We hit the jackpot with Mays and Texas A&M — the town is great to live in, there are a lot of good people to work with in the accounting department and the atmosphere is healthy and collegial.” Full Story >>

Marjorie Shelley
Associate Professor of Accounting
“Understanding what accounting adds to the way markets and our economy work is valuable. It’s also important to produce good, reliable and ethical accounting professionals.” Full Story >>

Laszlo Tihanyi
Associate Professor of Management
“I am fascinated by the complex issues of organization and how people who work in organizations view their environment and shape their strategies accordingly.” Full Story >>

Michael F. Gallmeyer
Assistant Professor of Finance
“So many exciting things are going on at A&M from the university level on down. Within the business school there seems to be a great vision for really building up research, and I’m looking forward to being part of that rise.” Full Story >>

Dmitry Livdan
Assistant Professor of Finance
“Finance is a dream job, and it’s pretty closely related to physics. The philosophy is different, but I still use the basic methods of physics and the same skills.” Full Story >>

Linda Myers
Assistant Professor of Accounting
“We found what we were looking for at Mays — a school that is interested in and supports academic research, is very collegial, and one where the faculty seem like a family and really care about the students and the reputation of the program.” Full Story >>

`Jon (Sean) Jasperson
Clinical Assistant Professor of Information and Operations Management
“Hopefully I can get students excited about technology and hopefully they’ll learn that technology is a vital part of everything they’ll be doing.” Full Story >>

Tim O. Peterson
Clinical Associate Professor of Business
“It’s exciting to have such a level of impact on how business students are educated at Mays. We can’t teach students everything they’ll need to know in business — we’ve got to move to a learning model so that when students leave, they continue learning.” Full Story >>

Dwayne Whitten
Clinical Assistant Professor of Information and Operations Management
“I like seeing the development of students from day one to the end of the semester. It’s interesting to see how they progress, to mentor them and prepare them for the world outside and later, to hear how you’ve made a difference in their lives.” Full Story >>
