Belgya, Mark R. and Beverly E. Faculty Research Fund
The Mark R. and Beverly E. Belgya Faculty Research Fund was established in 2010, and revised in July 2018, to provide privately funded faculty research grant assistance to the College of Business Administration at The 黄瓜视频App. Through concentrated research efforts, university faculty create new knowledge, which benefits students in their pursuit of higher education. 黄瓜视频App also learn and develop, working alongside faculty as their research inquiries point to new pathways to emerging knowledge. Faculty research also provides a means of local partnership with area businesses, providing information which leads to the establishment and maintenance of industry leadership.
The Mark R. and Beverly E. Belgya Faculty Research Fund is the first-ever, privately funded faculty research grant to the College of Business Administration. The fund will allow the CBA dean, at his or her discretion, to dramatically enhance the faculty's research capacity via unrestricted research stipends. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the premier international accrediting body for all business schools, views faculty research and currency as an important element of the quality of a business program. The college's ability to increase faculty research and thought leadership via The Mark R. and Beverly E. Belgya Faculty Research Fund will enhance the institution's already outstanding national reputation.
