Dear Alumni and Friends: 

This report describes a year of striking achievements at the 

Isenberg School—of highly successful investments in The 

Isenberg Advantage. Our students continued to get better 

and better—our entering freshman class has joined us with 

high school grade point averages of 3.7 and, for the first time, 

SAT scores exceeding 1200. Our full-time MBA program 

rolled out four new M.S./MBA tracks combining business 

and engineering. And our part-time MBA program’s online 

enrollments grew to 727 students in 50 states and 15 countries. 

Our faculty also continued to thrive. Ray Pfeiffer of our accounting department was 

chosen by the FASB as its sole full-time faculty researcher from academe for 2008-2009. 

Sheila Bair, on leave from the Isenberg School, continued to make headlines as director 

of the FDIC. And our John F. Smith Memorial Professor Anna Nagurney was a Fulbright 

Fellow. We also attracted new faculty members to the School in accounting, operations 

management, and hospitality and tourism management. This year, faculty hiring will 

continue at full speed. Professor Haemoon Oh will join us in January as new head of 

our Department of Hospitality and Tourism Management. A second highlight will be our 

completion of fundraising to create our first endowed faculty position in accounting, the 

Richard H. Simpson Endowed Professorship in Accounting. 

Last year, renewed alumni support for the Isenberg School helped us to raise $1 million 

toward the Simpson professorship. That was a significant part of the $3.29 million that 

alumni and friends contributed to the School as a whole. Private support is critical to The 

Isenberg Advantage. It allows us to invest in new teaching and learning technologies, 

increase scholarship assistance, and expand experiential learning, including overseas travel 

for students. 

Scholarship support for our students, in fact, is at an all-time high. This report describes our 

$500,000 gift from the Ernst & Young Foundation, 80% of which will provide scholarships 

for students of color. The report celebrates programs that promote interdisciplinary study, 

including the Isenberg Scholars, championed by Eugene ’50 and Ronnie Isenberg. And this 

report’s cover and a description on this page highlight the Jack Welch Scholarships, which 

provide full funding for their recipients throughout their undergraduate years. 

The year ahead, then begins from a position of strength. The quality of our students, faculty, 

and programs is at an all-time high. Our new chancellor, Robert C. Holub, will provide 

campus-wide leadership and stability. And renewed commitment from you and your 

fellow alumni has strengthened our resource base and our national competitiveness. 

The past twelve months have given us—the extended Isenberg School community—a 

great deal to be proud of. With your continued support, we will build a brighter future for 

our students.

Investing in The Isenberg Advantage 

For the Isenberg School of Management, 2007-2008 was a 

year of progress on all fronts. In September 2007, D. Anthony 

(Tony) Butterfield began a multi-year appointment as the 

School’s interim dean, replacing Soren Bisgaard, who had 

served the previous year in that role following Tom O’Brien’s 

retirement in 2006 after 19 years as the School’s dean. An 

Isenberg School faculty member since 1972 and the former 

director of the School’s Ph.D. program and chair of its 

management department, Dr. Butterfield led the School’s 

successful initiatives in strengthening alumni and state support, 

which brought significant new investments in the School’s 

students, faculty, and programs. 

Exceptional Students: Brooke Naylor ’08 and Ryan Durkin ’08 (front) 

were among nine students honored by the UMass Amherst campus as 

21st Century Leaders. Adam Ferrarini ’08 (center) was one of two seniors 

at UMass Amherst to receive the Jack Welch Scholarship, a full-support 

award from the GE Fund. 

Investing in New 

Faculty Members. “Our 

investments begin with 

our faculty,” emphasizes 

Dean Butterfield. For the 

fall 2008 semester, three 

new tenure-track faculty 

members have joined the 

School—two in operations 

management who focus 

on supply chain analysis 

and a tenured professor 

in accounting. Two new 

faculty members will join 

the Isenberg School’s 


Management program 

in January, including a 

new nationally recruited 

department head, 

Haemoun Oh. In addition, 

a new professor will 

join the School’s Sport 

Management department 

in January, and searches 

for two additional tenure 

track faculty members 

in accounting and one 

Eugene ’50 and Ronnie Isenberg, the 

Isenberg School’s greatest benefactors, 

have energized the integration of 

business, science, and technology on 

the UMass Amherst campus. A photo 

of their annual Isenberg Scholarship 

recipients and a description of the 

interdisciplinary Technology Innovation 

Challenge appear on page 11. 

in management will also take place. And the School will 

complete its campaign to create its first endowed professorship 

in accounting, which will honor that department’s legendary 

teacher’s teacher, Richard Simpson. During the past year, 

graduates of the School’s accounting department collectively 

raised $1 million toward the new endowed position, which 

Professor Simpson will hold until his retirement. After that, the 

position will go to another exceptional educator. 

Outstanding programs for exceptional students. This year, 

the Isenberg School welcomes the most academically 

accomplished student body in its history. The fall’s entering 

freshman class has mean high school grade point averages 

of 3.7 and SAT scores that for the first time exceed 1200. “To 

prepare our students for a rapidly changing world, we stress 

not only the classroom learning that takes place, but also the 

importance of experiential learning,” observes undergraduate 

dean Carol Barr. The latter includes industry internships and 

practicums, community activities like the school’s annual 

VITA tax assistance program, and dozens of international study 

options, including two-week home-grown class trips to eight 

different countries. 

The Isenberg School will strengthen the diversity of its 

student body with a $500,000 gift from the Ernst & Young 

Foundation. Four-fifths of the grant funding the initiative— 

1

The Ernst & Young Partners in Education 

Program—will provide scholarship support 

for minorities during the academic years 2008 

through 2013. The remainder will support 

student programming and services, including 

tutorial assistance and mandatory seminars 

devoted to academic success and career 

transitioning. 

Last year, the Isenberg School’s full-time 

residential MBA program rolled out hybrid 

MBA/M.S. options in four engineering 

disciplines. And the School’s Part-Time MBA 

program continued its rapid growth in size and 

national stature. Enrollment grew to 910 (728 

online students) from 811 the year before. It 

also achieved rankings of 5th in the Northeast 

and 29th nationally in BusinessWeek’s 2007 

Top Part-Time MBA Rankings, released in 

November 2007. In a second national survey, 

conducted by Modern Healthcare magazine, 

the School’s Online Part-Time MBA program 

ranked 12th in the nation among business 

graduate school programs that offer a focus 

for physician-executives. And the School’s revitalized M.S. 

program in accounting, offered during the summer and online, 

enrolled 123 public accounting professionals. 

Faculty lead the way. The Isenberg School’s three principal 

research centers—its Center for International Securities and 

Derivative Markets (alternative investments), Virtual Center for 

Supernetworks (network analysis), and Center for Spectator 

Sport Marketing—continued to excel in both academic 

and industry research. John F. Smith Memorial Professor in 

Operations Management Anna Nagurney was a Fulbright 

Senior Specialist at the University of Catania in Sicily. Michael 

and Cheryl Philip Professor of Finance Thomas Schneeweis 

and Professor Hossein Kazemi were keynote speakers at 

a national three-day conference in Seoul on alternative 

investments. Finance Professor Ben Branch was honored 

with the Chancellor’s Medal as one of four campus-wide 

Distinguished Faculty Lecturers. Accounting professor Ray 

Pfeiffer was chosen from a national field as the Financial 

Accounting Standards Board’s academic researcher in 

residence for 2008-2009. Dean’s Professor of Regulatory 

Finance Sheila Bair, on leave from the School as director 

of the FDIC—returned to lecture on the subprime mortgage 

mess. Management professor Mzamo Mangaliso completed 

a two-year stint as director of South Africa’s National 

Research Foundation—that nation’s analog to our National 

Science Foundation. And in April the U.S. Small Business 

Administration honored the statewide Massachusetts 

Small Business Development Center (MSBDC) network, 

headquartered in the Isenberg School, for the exceptional 

performance of its Massachusetts Export Center. 

Alumni support gives the Isenberg School its competitive edge. 

The Importance of Alumni Support. The Simpson 

professorship and the Ernst & Young Foundation gift 

exemplified a resurgence in the Isenberg School’s development 

efforts. New development director Ed Brozman and his team 

raised $3.29 million, doubling last year’s performance. “That 

performance in fundraising has been critical,” emphasizes 

Dean Butterfield. “It will give the Isenberg School momentum 

for a capital campaign that will allow us to add a new 

classroom building and attract new faculty members through 

endowed professorships and other competitive incentives. 

All things considered, the Isenberg School’s academic 

accomplishments and its renewed alumni support point to a 

future of accelerating growth and achievement. The Isenberg 

Advantage has never been stronger!”

The Isenberg Advantage: Highlights of the Year 

Alumnus of the Year and New 

Scholarships Highlight 

Annual Awards Banquet 

“In the early 1970s I was a decent student in 

a winning program (accounting),” Isenberg 

School Alumnus of the Year Jaime Pereira ’76 

told a packed Student Union Ballroom at the 

Isenberg School’s Annual Awards Banquet in 

April. “I got a great education and some polish, Jaime Pereira ’76 

which, combined with a strong work ethic and 

some luck, were powerful ingredients in my career,” continued the veteran 

Ernst & Young partner, who has worked for the public accounting firm since 

graduation. During the past year, Pereira helped the Isenberg School secure 

a $500,000 grant from the Ernst and Young Foundation that will support 

student diversity at the School through scholarships and other resources. 

“Because Isenberg students graduate with a solid education and a great work 

ethic, Ernst & Young views the Isenberg School as one of its national priority 

schools in recruiting,” Pereira told the gathering. 

The banquet’s scores of awards included five new scholarships: 

• The Robert Morrisson Atwater Scholarship—for an international 

internship or overseas study by an undergraduate 

• The Thomas Gerraty Memorial Scholarship—for an HTM student 

focusing on recreation resource management 

• The John F. Kennedy Family Scholarship—for a student in 

financial need with a 3.2+ grade point average 

• The Sheryl L. Rosenbaum Memorial Scholarship—for accounting 

students who exemplify Sheryl’s spirit and sense of community. 

• The Lance Corporal Eric Paul Valdepeñas Scholarship—for an 

undergraduate with a 3.0+ grade point average who participates 

actively in his or her community 

• The Stanley Young Memorial Award—for a graduate student 

whose outstanding work reflects the originality and high standards 

of the late Isenberg School Professor Stanley Young’s own 

academic contributions to management and labor relations. 

Isenberg School to Strengthen 

Student Diversity with $500,000 

Ernst & Young Grant 

The $500,000 grant from the Ernst & Young 

Foundation University Fund described 

on the left by Alumnus of the Year Jaime 

Pereira ‘76 will help the Isenberg School to 

strengthen its commitment to students from 

African-American, Latino, Native American, 

and Cape Verdean backgrounds. Four-fifths 

of the grant funding the initiative—The Ernst 

& Young Partners in Education Program— 

will provide scholarship support for 

undergraduates during the academic years 

2008 through 2013. 

The remainder of the grant will support 

student programming and services, 

including tutorial assistance and mandatory 

one-credit seminars devoted to academic 

success and career transitioning. Each 

student will work with a peer mentor from 

the Isenberg School and a professional 

mentor from Ernst & Young. The students 

will also visit Ernst & Young’s offices in 

Boston and New York. 

“The new program will open doors to our 

increasingly competitive school for a larger 

pool of strong academic performers from 

underrepresented backgrounds. We are 

grateful to the Ernst & Young Foundation 

for its support of this important initiative,” 

emphasizes undergraduate dean Carol 

Barr, who adds that the first Young Partners 

group of 11 students have begun their 

freshman careers on campus.

The first round of a new 

campaign to create the 

Isenberg School’s sixth 

endowed professorship and 

its first in accounting—in 

honor of Professor Richard 

H. Simpson—ended 

on June 30 with $1 

million raised toward 

the campaign’s goal of 

$1.5 million. The grass 

roots initiative, sparked 

by accounting alumni 

John Spinney ’87, Dennis 

Hanno ’90 Ph.D, and a 

campaign committee that 

includes Ed Callahan ’79, 

Gib Hammond ’77, Tim 

Grady ’93, and Stephen 

Bowen is on track to create 

a permanent testament to exceptional teaching and to Professor 

Simpson himself, who has taught 6,150 students at the Isenberg 

School over the past 41 years. Prompted by Professor Simpson’s 

discussion of retirement a year ago, the planned professorship may 

well boast Professor Simpson as its first occupant. Near the end 

of his department’s annual banquet in May, Professor Simpson 

reflected from the podium: “In wrestling with retirement, I’ve 

understood that all good things must come to an end.” But then he 

added, “The heck with it; let’s teach for another year!” 

M.S. Program in Accounting 

by the Numbers 

National and Regional Kudos for Isenberg 

School’s Part-Time MBA Program 

and Its Online Option 

Business Week ranked the 

Isenberg School’s Part-Time 

MBA program 5th in the 

Northeast and 29th in the nation in the magazine’s Top Part- 

Time MBA Programs rankings, released in November 2007. 

The School’s Part-Time MBA program, which serves over 

900 students at sites in Holyoke, Shrewsbury, and Pittsfield 

as well as online in fifty states and around the globe, also 

received “A’s” in the categories of Teaching Quality, Caliber of 

Classmates, and Curriculum. In the same survey, the Isenberg 

School program placed 2nd with three other schools for the 

highest program completion rate by students, 4th in student 

satisfaction, and 8th in the percentage of tenured faculty 

teaching in a part-time program. 

In a second national survey—this one focusing on business 

graduate school programs for physician-executives—the 

school’s Online Part-Time MBA program ranked 12th in the 

nation. Conducted by Modern Healthcare magazine, the 

survey also ranked the Isenberg School program, which is 

offered entirely online, 1st in the nation for the fewest number 

of required days that students must spend on campus and 5th 

in the nation for the lowest total tuition cost. 

“We have found our Online MBA program to be a very 

attractive model for meeting the demands of the extremely 

busy lives of today’s practicing physicians,” observes Eric 

Berkowitz, associate dean for professional programs at the 

Isenberg School. “Since the program’s inception, our faculty 

has become particularly skilled in online teaching. Our 

national rankings continuously reflect the value they bring to 

practitioners in all realms of the ever-changing and complex 

healthcare world.” 

Seven years and counting, the Isenberg School’s revived 

M.S. Program in Accounting continues its spectacular 

success. Most of the program’s 320 graduates completed 

their degrees in fifteen months while pursuing full-time 

careers. Eighty-five percent of its students and graduates 

work at the Big Four Public Accounting firms; 63 percent 

are women. In the summer of 2008, 57 first-year and 66 

second-year students were enrolled in the program. “Like 

the Isenberg School’s MBA program, our M.S. program 

emphasizes a general business perspective,” notes its 

director, James Smith, a former chair of the accounting 

department. “That means helping our students to expand 

their repertoire of general business skills and to integrate 

their accounting skills into a broader business mindset.”

Marriott Center Adds Value 

to the Isenberg School 

“Our best practices in service and hospitality 

have value for every student in the Isenberg 

School,” observes Rod Warnick, chair of 

the School’s Department of Hospitality and 

Tourism Management (HTM). For three 

semesters Warnick and his department have 

held aegis over the $6.3 million Marriott Center 

for Hospitality Management—state-of-theart 

facilities in the Campus Center that have 

energized the department. Throughout both 

semesters, student teams in the department’s course, Menu and 

Food Production Management, serve lunch and dinner to the 

public in the Marriott Center’s 200-seat dining room. Each student 

cycles through different managerial, service, and food preparation 

jobs. Other classes in the center’s world-class food preparation 

classroom/lab take separate courses in food production 

management and in catering/banquet management. 

Thanks to the Marriott Center, the Isenberg School and the 

UMass Amherst campus now enjoy elegant mid-size facilities for 

social gatherings, workshops, and meetings. The Isenberg School 

hosted its Business Advisory Council there in April and an MBA 

graduation celebration in May. Also in April, the HTM program 

complemented its annual recruiting fair with a late-afternoon

Conference on Humanitarian Logistics Offers 

Immediate Real-World Applications 

When John F. Smith Professor of Operations Management 

Anna Nagurney organized the conference “Humanitarian 

Logistics: Networks for Africa,” she gained a far more powerful 

experience than she had bargained for. Funded by the Rockefeller 

Foundation, the conference brought together academics and 

human services practitioners from 12 nations, who examined 

logistics and supply chain research, African field experiences, 

and logistics partnerships between the academic community and 

African nations and relief agencies. 

From day one of the conference (it took place on May 5-9 at 

the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center at Lake Como in 

Italy), its emotional atmosphere remained supercharged, in large 

part due to the powerful cyclone that had unleashed its force on 

Myanmar two days before. “One invited speaker from World 

Vision International had to leave immediately to help with the 

humanitarian mission; he continued to feed us reports from the 

field,” recalled Nagurney. “A second conferee from the UN 

stayed on but made sure that the right communication equipment 

was being sent to the disaster area.” 

One aim of the conference, noted Nagurney, who is also a 

Fulbright Fellow, was to give practitioners a better understanding 

of the logistics models that business academicians build to 

move goods and services more efficiently within and across 

markets and economies. At the same time, the conference 

deepened academicians’ understanding of the challenges (i.e., 

inefficiencies) that accompany humanitarian logistics, especially 

in underdeveloped African nations. “I have never participated in 

a more emotionally charged event,” concluded Nagurney. “We 

left the conference energized to apply the lessons that we had 

learned.”

Career Fairs Highlight Isenberg School’s 

Commitment to Students and Employers 

During the 2007/2008 academic year, three Isenberg School 

career fairs attracted more than 1,600 students and over160 

companies to the UMass Amherst campus. In October, the 

Isenberg School’s annual Career Day hosted 93 companies at 

the Mullins Center. Coordinated by the School’s Chase Career 

Center, which has recruiting relationships with 300 employers, 

the event attracted 1,100 students with resumes in hand.. 

Two weeks earlier, the 

Chase Center hosted 

its first recruitment 

fair for regional public 

accounting firms—i.e., 

accounting firms outside 

the “Big Four.” Held in 

the Isenberg School’s 

atrium, the fair attracted 

27 firms and several 

hundred students. 

“The event represents a 

new, more agile strategy 

Career fair in the Isenberg atrium. at the Chase Career 

Center,” emphasized 

its executive director, 

Nic Wegman. “In addition to sponsoring school-wide events 

like Career Day, we are taking a more segmented approach 

with recruiters by developing other fairs with specific academic 

departments and industries.” 

Hospitality in Action. In March, the Department of Hospitality 

and Tourism Management’s (HTM) annual Career Day attracted 

48 recruiting companies and over 400 students. It featured two 

events: a recruiting fair in the Campus Center Auditorium and 

a reception for recruiters and alumni in the new $6.3 million 

Marriott Center for Hospitality Management. 

“Both events were run by students, with guidance from 

department chair Rod Warnick and his staff. The events had a 

professionalism beyond all expectations,” observed Wegman. “I 

think we demonstrated the value of customer service [i.e., to the 

recruiters] and how to achieve it,” remarked student coordinator 

Kelly Nussdorfer ’08. “Understanding how to treat customers 

correctly is a hallmark of the hospitality industry, but it has value 

for every industry, every business.” 

The Hospitality career fair attracted 48 recruiting companies. 

FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair 

Returns to the Isenberg School 

In February, Sheila Bair, the Isenberg School professor who 

has served as chairman of the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance 

Corporation since July 2006, returned to campus as featured 

speaker in the School’s Finance Seminar. Bair is on leave from the 

School as its Professor of Financial Regulatory Policy. Since moving 

to Washington, Dr. Bair has become a central figure in policy 

discussions focusing on the nation’s subprime mortgage crisis. Last 

year’s 1.7 million foreclosures in the U.S. dwarfed the 600,000 

or so that we’ve come to expect, Bair told her audience of 60 

academics and finance industry practitioners. Much of the tragedy, 

she continued, stems from the housing market’s abrupt decline 

combined with the groundswell of subprime mortgages issued from 

2002 through 2006 and into 2007. 

Mortgage-makers/lenders—servicers contracted by nonbank 

mortgage companies—were key enablers of the subprime mortgage 

mess, observed Bair. Many of them overmarketed subprime 

mortgages and obscured their potentially onerous costs. Many 

relaxed housing loan criteria. Policy makers 

and regulators, emphasized Bair, were also 

to blame. “Everyone had relied uncritically 

on historical data that mortgages were safe 

and would rise indefinitely,” she observed. 

“It’s amazing to me that nobody asked about 

the consequences of an overappreciated 

mortgage market. Everybody was asleep at 

the switch. 

“In the short run there are no good options, 

but compassion for duped investors 

and their neighborhoods is preferable 

to defaults,” Bair insisted. For Bair, the 

Sheila Bair 

long-term is another matter: “We need to 

establish new, uniform rules for the subprime mortgage markets,” 

she continued. Restoring confidence to the system is critical, she 

emphasized, because home ownership is essential to America’s 

social and economic fabric.

Alumni Departmental Events Emphasize 

Student and Alumni Accomplishments 

The Isenberg School’s accounting, sport management, and 

marketing departments each drew enthusiastic groups of 

alumni to their own departmental events. 

Accounting Department’s 35th Annual Recognition 

Banquet. “There’s never been a better time to graduate with 

an accounting degree,” Accounting Alumnus of the Year 

Jason Janoff ’93 told an appreciative audience of 300 at 

the Department of Accounting’s annual banquet in April. 

“Isenberg School graduates 

are valued throughout the 

profession,” continued Janoff, 

who is an audit partner 

with Ernst & Young’s New 

England retail consumer 

products practice. “They bring 

intangibles to their firms like 

an outstanding work ethic 

and an ability to take charge 

of work challenges and their 

careers,” added Janoff, who 

is also his firm’s partner in 

charge of campus recruiting 

Jason Janoff ’93 

and related diversity initiatives 

in New England. 

In addition to Janoff’s honor, 44 students received 

scholarships and other awards for outstanding achievements. 

Janoff and fellow Ernst & Young partner Jaime Pereira 

’76 presented the Isenberg School and the accounting 

department with a $500,000 check from the Ernst & Young 

Foundation that will promote student diversity at the Isenberg 

School. Four-fifths of the gift will provide direct scholarship 

support to students. And the audience learned that the 

campaign to create a $1.5 million endowed professorship— 

the department’s first—in honor of Professor Richard 

Simpson was approaching the $1 million mark. 

Sport Management Alumni Reunion Weekend. In November, 

sport management alumni returned to Amherst for the first 

annual Sport Management Alumni Reunion Weekend. 

Highlights of the gathering included presentation of the 

department’s annual Harold J. VanderZwagg Distinguished 

Alumnus Award, two industry-focused workshops, and 

dedication of a faculty office in honor of former faculty 

member Bill Sutton. Established by the department in 1993, 

the annual VanderZwagg award recognizes two graduates 

each year for their outstanding achievement in the sports 

industry and for their dedication to the Isenberg School’s 

sport management program. 

This year’s honorees were John Wentzell ’84 M.S., president 

since 2005 of TD BankNorth Garden in Boston, and 

Amy Scheer ’86, vice 

president of marketing 

and communications 

with the WNBA’s New 

York Liberty. 

The faculty office 

dedicated in honor 

of Dr. Sutton was a 

gift from former faculty 

member Bernie Mullin 

and alumni Ted Dalton 

’98 M.S., Kelly Stone ’98 

John Wentzell ’84 M.S., Lisa Masteralexis, 

and Amy Scheer ’86 

M.S., and Jim Paquette ’94. Dr. Sutton received high praise 

for his judicious and generous career advice to students 

and graduates and his vigilance in steering them to new job 

opportunities. 

Marketing Alumni Event. “Location, location, location,” 

exulted Isenberg School marketing professor Marc 

Weinberger. “We held our alumni networking event on April 

3rd at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield—at 

the same time that the UMass Men’s basketball team was 

battling with Ohio State for the NIT championship. That’s the 

sort of tie-in that marketers dream of. “We owe a great deal 

to the Hall’s CEO and president—our graduate John Doleva 

’82—for hosting the event,” Professor Weinberger continued. 

“John offered the Hall to us a year ago. It was an ideal setting 

and the department’s first event in Springfield. 

Attended by 50 alumni and department faculty members, 

most guests hailed from Western Massachusetts and 

Connecticut, but a number came from Eastern Massachusetts, 

one all the way from Cape Cod. “It drew a number of alumni 

who said that they had never before been to a marketing 

department event,” Professor Weinberger remarked.

Massachusetts Small Business 

Development Center’s Export Center 

Receives National Award 

In April, the Massachusetts 

Small Business Development 

Center (MSBDC) network’s 

Massachusetts Export 

Center was honored with 

the U.S. Small Business 

Administration’s Small 

Business Development Center Service Excellence and 

Innovation Award. The Isenberg School has been MSBDC 

network headquarters for 28 years. 

The new award honors Small Business Development centers 

for their innovation and excellence in helping entrepreneurs 

and small business owners to achieve their business goals. 

The Export Center was nominated for the award by Associated 

Industries of Massachusetts. 

“The weak dollar has been a boon to Massachusetts 

exporters, but Export Center director Paula Murphy and her 

team help Massachusetts small business exporters to succeed 

in any economic season,” underscores MSBDC state director 

Georgianna Parkin, who attended the award ceremony in 

Washington with Murphy and hundreds of small business 

advocates from around the nation. 

The MSBDC network’s free business counseling to small 

businesses, includes help with business and marketing 

plans and strategies. The network also helps small 

businesses to improve their operations and to obtain 

financial and loan assistance. There is an MSBDC 

regional or satellite office within 30 minutes of any 

potential client in the state. That includes regional and 

specialty programs and services at over 42 locations. 

Nobel Economics Laureate 

Visits the Isenberg School 

In November, Nobel economics 

laureate Robert F. Engle presented 

a lecture, Anticipating Correlations, 

in the Isenberg School’s Fall Finance 

Seminar series. His presentation 

compared the performance of 

different forecasting models by 

applying them to daily returns from 

U.S. large cap stocks. Dr. Engle’s 

Robert F. Engle 

results demonstrated the superiority 

of the Dynamic Conditional 

Correlation model, his own blend of two models. 

Dr. Engle emphasized that his approach, as applied 

to the forecasting of financial risk, accommodates 

adaptation to new types of risks without allowing 

unexpected “Black Swan” events to cast undue 

influence on the approach’s performance. 

Dr. Engle, who is the Michael Armellino Professor 

in Management of Financial Services at New York 

University’s Stern School of Business shared the Nobel 

Prize in Economics with Clive Granger in 2003 for 

his methods of analyzing economic time series with a 

family of models known as ARCH. The models have 

become indispensable tools not only for financial 

market analysis, but in asset pricing and in evaluating 

portfolio risk. 

Richard Kelleher ’73 

Honored with Distinguished 

Alumni Award 

In April, Isenberg School HTM graduate 

Richard M. Kelleher ’73 was one of six 

recipients honored at the Massachusetts 

State House with a Distinguished 

Alumnus Award. Established by the 

Richard M. Kelleher 

UMass Amherst Alumni Association, 

the awards recognize the outstanding 

achievements of alumni, faculty, and special 

friends of the university. Kelleher is chairman, 

CEO, and founder of Pyramid Advisors, LLC, 

a prominent Boston-based hotel management 

firm with operations in 18 states, $2.5 billion 

in revenues, and over 7200 employees. Before 

founding Pyramid Advisors in 1999, Kelleher was 

president and chief operating officer of Promus 

Hotels. Under his leadership, Promus expanded 

to 1,250 properties, including the acquisition 

of over $5 billion in hotel companies and real 

estate. Before that he was president and CEO of 

Doubletree Hotel Corporation. 

He is a member of the Isenberg School’s Business 

Advisory Council and its HTM Advisory Board. 

Richard and his wife, Nancy ’71, support HTM 

students with an annual scholarship and the 

Isenberg School with a faculty/staff award.

Exceptional Students; Extraordinary Accomplishments 

Commencement Celebrations Emphasize Past Accomplishments, New Beginnings 

A near-perfect spring day greeted the Isenberg School’s graduating 

seniors and their families at the UMass Amherst campus’s 138th 

undergraduate commencement ceremony on May 24th. During the 

event, the University awarded bachelor’s degrees to 4,000 candidates, 

900 of them from the Isenberg School. 

Following the ceremony, Isenberg School graduating seniors and 

their parents gathered in a spacious white tent outside the stadium for 

the school’s own celebration. Rather than viewing commencement 

day as an ending, graduates should consider it “a time of beginning, 

a day of beginning,” emphasized undergraduate dean and master of 

ceremonies Carol Barr. 

Dean Barr noted that earlier in the day at Undergraduate 

Commencement, three Isenberg School graduating seniors had 

received special campus-wide awards. Finance major Ryan 

Durkin ’08 and operations management major Brooke Naylor 

’08 joined nine other honorees from around the campus as 

21st Century Leaders. The award recognizes graduating seniors 

with exceptional records of achievement, initiative, and social 

awareness. A third Isenberg School senior, finance major 

Adam Ferrarini ’08, was one of two Jack Welch Scholars, a 

full-scholarship award created by the GE Foundation in honor 

of UMass alumnus and former GE Chairman Jack Welch ’57. 

The three honorees, observed Barr, came from a single Isenberg 

School department—Finance and Operations Management. 

Next, Dean Barr presented the School’s own Senior Leadership award 

to 14 students for their exceptional leadership and service within the 

School. Nominated by the School’s faculty and staff and chosen by 

a committee within the School, the honorees included the following 

graduating seniors: 

Nathan Barksdale, Andres Barrera Muñoz, Nathan Bousquet, Jason 

Davis, Ryan Durkin, Megan Flaherty, Whitney Lee Keller, Sami Korna, 

Eric Mish, Brooke Naylor, Kelly Nussdorfer, Daniel Robert, Michael 

Schiraga, and Jessica Sherwood. 

Isenberg School Students Honor Springfield 

Community Heroes 

During the fall semester, 16 sport management students teamed 

up with community leaders in Springfield to coordinate the 

annual Key Players project, which honors ten Springfield area 

men of color—the Key 

Player Ambassadors. 

The ambassadors 

include artists and 

athletes, educators 

and ministers, 

businesspeople and 

community organizers— 

all of whom have 

enriched the lives of 

Springfield’s children 

The 2008 Key Players Ambassadors and their community. 

Besides coordinating the Key Players nomination and election, the 

students worked with the local media and conducted fund raising 

in support of the project. They oversaw two events that honored 

the ambassadors—a half-time ceremony at a Boston Celtics’ 

game and a testimonial dinner-reception in Springfield attended 

by the ambassadors, their families, and other well-wishers. And 

the students immersed themselves in the community by each 

devoting thirty hours of service at family, recreation, and other 

community centers. 

Now in its sixth year, the Key Players project is the centerpiece 

of the Isenberg School 

course, Sport and Community 

Relations. “The course has 

multiple aims,” observes its 

creator, sport management 

professor Todd Crosset. “One 

of them is to prepare students 

for an entry-level position 

after graduation in a sport 

organization’s community 

relations department.” The 

Key Players student team 

students get that preparation in the field through hands-on 

experiences both with community organizations and with a 

professional sports organization (the Boston Celtics). They also 

learn the ropes of fundraising and interact with the local media. ” 

“Key Players demonstrated the value of emotional involvement to 

us both as business students and as human beings,” emphasized 

senior Julie Guerra. “Connecting on that level was important to our 

business education.”

The Isenberg Advantage: Exceptional Students; Extraordinary Accomplishments 

MBA Student Practicums 

Wow Area Businesses 

During their final semester in the 

Isenberg School’s full-time MBA 

program, students complete practicumconsulting 

projects on behalf of the 

region’s businesses. In 2008, teams 

of three and four students completed 

seven separate projects, including the 

two initiatives described below—a 

controversial land-use study for the town 

of Belchertown and a strategic marketing 

study for the medical multimedia 

education company Patient.Edu. 

MBA Student Study Says No Go to 

Belchertown Resort Plan 

When Belchertown’s Economic 

Development and Industrial Corporation 

asked four Isenberg School MBA 

students to assess the viability of a 

proposed development project on 

town land, the team’s recommendation 

contradicted the proposal of a townappointed 

consultant. The consultant’s 

study, completed in 2005, urged the 

town to attract a developer to create a 

“wellness”-oriented resort and spa on the 

grounds of the former Belchertown State 

School, an institution for the mentally 

challenged that closed in 1992. 

The original proposal by a property 

development consultant in Maryland 

was overly optimistic, the team insisted. 

“After completing 

their research, 

the students 

concluded that 

the proposal 

was unworkable 

and questioned 

many of its assumptions,” observed 

Bruce Skaggs, the Isenberg School 

faculty adviser to the practicum. While 

the original study assumed that the 

$150-per-night hotel and spa would 

attract an occupancy rate of 70 percent, 

the students found that comparable 

resorts in the region averaged 55 percent 

occupancy. They also criticized the 

original study for failing to incorporate 

net present value calculations into its 

projections and for omitting data sources 

behind its assumptions. Added Skaggs: 

“The students found that the study relied 

predominantly on best-case scenarios. 

When they ran the numbers they 

concluded that the resort would have to 

charge $370 per night to be viable—not 

a good deal for a potential developer, 

consumers, and the town.” 

MBA Team Recommendation: Recast 

Your Market’s Definition 

“The Isenberg School MBA student team * 

corroborated our firm’s basic marketing 

and distribution strategy. They also 

refined it and brought open-mindedness 

and creativity to the analysis,” observed 

Carl Fortin ’64 and Paul McDonald 

’66 of Patient.Edu in East Longmeadow. 

(Both are also long-time members of 

the Isenberg School’s Business Advisory 

Council.) Patient.Edu crafts interactive 

educational videos that help hospitals 

and other healthcare providers explain 

medical conditions and treatments to 

patients before, during, and after medical 

procedures. The firm’s growing clientele

includes 18 hospitals around 

the United States. “One of our 

challenges has been to expand 

that growing national market with 

a very small sales force,” observed 

McDonald, a member of the 

firm’s board of directors. “That 

becomes more difficult owing to 

a 6 to 9-month sales cycle that 

requires approval of a hospital’s 

chief medical, legal, nursing, 

information, financial officers, 

and others,” noted Fortin, who is 

Patient.Edu’s CFO. 

To meet those challenges, 

Patient.Edu has forged marketing 

alliances with cable TV providers 

in hospitals, health care insurers, 

medical record specialists, and 

other firms that do business with 

hospitals 

and other 

health care 

providers. “In 

their study, 

the students 

emphasized 

that we— 

especially 

our web 

site—needed 

to market 

more directly 

to those 

players—that 

we were too focused on narrow 

hospital solutions,” explained 

Patient.Edu’s CEO, Steven 

Graziano. “Beyond that, they 

recommended that by redefining 

our markets in terms of wellness, 

we could expand them by 75%.” 

A prominent member of Patient. 

Edu’s board of directors insisted 

that the students’ study could 

have easily fetched competitive 

consulting fees, remarked Fortin. 

Added Paul McDonald, “The 

students’ insights had a further 

advantage: unlike some 

consultants, the students brought 

no biases to the exercise.” 

The 2008-2009 Isenberg 

Award Recipients honored at the 

Isenberg School’s 2008 Annual Awards 

Banquet in April, included two Isenberg 

School students: MBA candidate Jason 

Gabisch (second row, far right) and 

Ph.D. candidate Xuan Huang (fi rst 

row, far left). Established by Eugene ’50 

and Ronnie Isenberg in 1994 to foster 

interdisciplinary integration among 

business, science, and engineering, the 

annual awards provide up to $10,000 for 

graduate students in the Isenberg School, the College of Engineering, the College of Natural Sciences 

and mathematics, and (for the fi rst time this year) the School of Nursing. 

Engineering Student Discovers 

Marketing Skills at the Isenberg 

School; Wins Annual Technology 

Innovation Challenge 

Without question, Isenberg Scholar 

Brian Mullen has lived up to his Isenberg 

Scholarship’s aim of fostering meaningful ties 

among business, science, and technology. In 

May, Mullen, a doctoral student in mechanical 

engineering, won the $50,000 grand prize in 

the UMass Amherst Technology Innovation 

Challenge (TIC)—with more than a little help 

from new-found friends in the Isenberg School’s 

marketing department and MBA program. In the 

competition—now in its third year—students, 

recent graduates, and faculty advisors submit 

technology-based business plans to a panel of 

judges, including technology entrepreneurs, 

consultants, and intellectual property specialists. 

Mullen’s winning entry, Therapeutic Systems, 

plans to market a light-weight deep- pressure 

vest developed on campus for the mentally ill, 

especially those with autism. Having come up 

short in the previous year’s TIC competition, 

Mullen knew that he had a promising product 

idea in search of a marketing plan. To make 

progress, he 

enrolled in 

two Isenberg 

School MBA 

electives 

taught by 

marketing 

professor 

Brian Mullen and MBA candidate 

Chris Leidel. 

Tom 

Brashear—a 

marketing 

research course in the fall and a special topics 

course in marketing strategy in the spring. In the 

marketing research course, the class critiqued 

Mullen’s previous TIC executive summary and 

marketing surveys. “With their help, I learned 

how to ask more relevant questions and how 

to arrange those questions to yield optimal 

responses,” he recalls. “The course was eyeopening 

to me both as an engineer and an 

entrepreneur. I gained a greater appreciation for 

the customer’s perspective.” 

In the follow-up course, Mullen and MBA students 

Rebecca Faneuf ’08 and Stephen Burrows ’08 

focused on his project’s marketing plan. (Outside 

the course, 1 st -year MBA student, Christopher 

Leidel also helped Mullen with financials.) 

Following some preliminary marketing research, 

Mullen realized that he had previously been hasty 

in identifying his principal target market—parents 

of mentally challenged dependents. Better to 

focus on school and health care professionals 

like occupational therapists, teachers, and speech 

language therapists—all who have greater leverage 

over their institutions’ resources and purchases. 

“That insight allowed me to create a distribution 

plan and a viable marketing strategy,” explains 

Mullen. “You can’t attach financials without 

a marketing strategy.” With his plan in place, 

Therapeutic Systems went on to capture the 

$50,000 prize, most of which Mullen immediately 

invested in the development of an improved vest 

prototype. “Winning the challenge was not an 

end point,” notes Mullen. “It’s been a momentum 

builder in bringing the vest to market.” 

The Technology Innovation Challenge received 

financial support from the following Isenberg 

School corporate friends and alumni: SABIC 

Innovative Plastics, Paul Carney ’82, and Eugene 

’50 and Ronnie Isenberg.

The Isenberg Advantage: Exceptional Students; Extraordinary Accomplishments 

International Education Week 

Celebration Underscores 

Isenberg School’s Commitment 

to Overseas Student Travel 

“Our students live and work in 

an increasingly global economy. 

International awareness and 

experience are critical to their 

education and success after 

graduation,” insists Isenberg 

School undergraduate dean 

Carol Barr. To that end, the School 

encourages direct international 

exposure through the University’s 

International Programs Office’s 

semester-long study opportunities in 27 countries 

and the Isenberg School’s own two-week class 

trips to Australia, Brazil, China, Denmark, 

Germany, France, Ghana, Ireland, and Italy. 

In November, the School highlighted those 

opportunities and the global economy itself 

through its annual celebration of International 

Education Week. During the weeklong festival, 

flags of 85 nations hung from the Alfond Center 

atrium’s balconies and stairwells. Displays 

and food devoted to specific countries added 

to the ambiance. And students vied in an 

essay competition for a $1,000 scholarship to 

further their international studies. The winner 

was freshman Valeriya Leikina, whose essay 

was judged superior by International Week 

Coordinator Gail Cruise and her fellow Isenberg 

School writing instructors. Thanks to the award, 

Valeriya was able to join 20 other Isenberg 

School students two months later on a two-week 

class trip to France and Germany. 

Isenberg School 

Senior Explores 

Underemployment 

among Younger 

Spanish Workers 

In the summer of 2007, 

after spending her spring 

semester at the University 

Leah Gettens ’08 of Brighton in Great Britain, 

Isenberg School operations 

management major Leah Gettens ’08 was an 

au pair in northern Spain’s Cantabria province. 

In Spain, she noticed a high incidence of 

unemployed and underemployed young adults 

(many of them in their 20s). “I met many of 

them through surfing,” she recalls. “Many were 

well-educated and out of work; some got by 

teaching surfing lessons part time. How could 

they subsist that way, I wondered? And why did 

many of them seem unconcerned about their 

employment prospects?” 

To gain a conceptual handle on 

underemployment among young Spanish 

adults, Gettens, who also majored in English 

and attended Commonwealth College, 

explored the subject in her senior honors thesis. 

Focusing on Spaniards between the ages of 20 

and 29, she examined more than two decades 

of economic analysis and Spanish government 

policies. Spain, she learned, has a two-tier labor 

force: a mainstream group of protected workers 

and a second group of disproportionately 

young temporary contract workers. Among 

the first group, government policies, including 

high severance pay, contribute to job security. 

Spain has avoided societal and severance 

costs among the first group (especially during 

economic downturns) by shifting more flexible 

hiring and firing practices to its temporary 

contact workers. When you combine younger 

workers’ dissatisfaction over less-than-secure 

contract employment with a culture of family 

support and generous state welfare, it’s hardly 

surprising, notes Gettens, to observe that many 

of them are less than enthusiastic about the job 

market and their future careers. 

Recent Isenberg School Graduate 

Places First in Statewide CPA 

Exams; Scores among Top Ten 

Nationally 

Two years ago, when 

senior accounting 

major Steve Alden ’06 

approached the stage to 

receive an award at the 

Isenberg School’s Annual 

Awards Banquet, a remark 

Steve Alden ’06 

rang out from the back 

of the banquet room. “He’s the best student 

I’ve ever had!” pealed a voice audible to the 

entire room. It turned out to be the affirmation 

of legendary accounting professor Richard 

Simpson. By his own count, Professor Simpson 

has taught 6,150 accounting students during 

his 41 years on the Isenberg School faculty. So 

Steve Alden, who is an audit associate with 

KPMG’s Boston office, is truly exceptional. 

Just how exceptional is evident in Steve’s 

cumulative CPA score: he placed first in a field 

of 615 successful Massachusetts exam takers 

in 2007 and was one of 10 CPA candidates in 

the nation honored with the Elijah Watt Sells 

Award. The honor is reserved for candidates 

who, on their first attempt, achieve the highest 

cumulative scores nationally for all four 

sections of the Uniform CPA Examination. 

Steve was one of more than 76,000 candidates 

who took the examination in 2007. 

UMass Amherst INFORMS 

Chapter Receives Top Honor at 

National Conference 

In November, the 

UMass Amherst 

student chapter 

of INFORMS 

(Institute for 

Operations 

Research and 

the Management 

Sciences) was INFORMS student leaders 

honored with the 

Student Chapter Annual Award Summa Cum 

Laude at the national INFORMS Conference 

in Seattle. The award is the top honor 

reserved for an INFORMS student chapter; 

there are approximately 60 of them, with the 

majority in the United States. 

The UMass Amherst chapter received 

an award plaque at the chapters/forums 

officers’ breakfast, which was attended by 

two past presidents of the student chapter, 

Zugang “Leo” Liu of the Isenberg School of 

Management and Christian Wernz of the 

College of Engineering. The chapter’s faculty 

adviser, John F. Smith Memorial Professor 

Anna Nagurney, and other members of the 

student chapter also attended. The chapter’s 

2007-2008 president was Patrick Qiang. 

The chapter is widely recognized for its 

speaker series, which brings outstanding 

scholars to the Isenberg School. The chapter 

is also admired for its variety of social and 

community activities and the esprit de corps 

of its members, which include students 

from the Isenberg School, the College of 

Engineering, the Department of Computer 

Science, and the Department of Resource 

Economics.

Ph.D. Student Examines 

Shifting Identities in the 

Global Economy 

“A central thesis of my dissertation is that 

our lens for understanding globalization 

frequently misses the boat in making sense 

of the complex personal relationships 

and identities that accompany the 

globalization of business,” observes 

Isenberg School Ph.D. candidate Banu 

Ozkazanc-Pan. Last year Ozkazanc-Pan 

became the first recipient of the Stanley 

Young Memorial Award, which honors 

the late Isenberg School management 

professor. In her 

own approach, the 


doctoral student 

advocates a thorough 

analysis of cultural 

assumptions— 

including those of the 

researcher herself. 

Ozkazanc-Pan favors Banu Ozkazanc-Pan 

an ethnographic tack 

that captures the complex, sometimes 

shifting situations that her entrepreneur 

subjects encounter. 

Consider, for example, her dissertation’s 

field research, which focuses on high 

technology entrepreneurs of Turkish 

origin. “In Turkey, I discovered that 

many such entrepreneurs consider 

themselves more Westernized than their 

low-technology business counterparts,” 

notes Ozkazanc-Pan, who joins the 

business faculty at UMass Boston this 

fall. “The high-tech entrepreneurs view 

themselves as advocates of modernity 

and globalization—attributes that figure 

strongly in Turkey’s aspirations to gain 

membership in the European Union.” 

Paradoxically, Turkish high-technology 

entrepreneurs who move to Silicon Valley 

must contend with a very different personal 

image. “My research reveals that they are 

frequently characterized as non-Western,” 

she remarks. “And at times they must also 

overcome negative stereotyping from 

American Armenians and Greeks. It all goes 

to show the value of painstaking qualitative 

research, especially when different cultures 

interact in the global economy.” 

Students Find Volunteer Tax Work 

Rewarding, Not Taxing 

“Working as a VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) volunteer has been 

a terrific learning experience. It’s given us an opportunity to make decisions 

on our feet, to work as a team, and to interact with a wide variety of people,” 

observes accounting student Peter Suchcicki ’08. Peter was one of two senioryear 

student administrators of the eight-week tax return assistance program. A 

partnership between the Isenberg School’s accounting department and the IRS, 

VITA mobilizes eighty students, who prepare and file federal and state tax returns 

for two categories of clients—lower-income residents of the Greater Amherst 

community and foreign national students at UMass Amherst and its Five College 

partners. 

“Last year, 80 Isenberg School accounting students prepared 2,000 to 3,000 

returns for 1,100 clients, who met with us right here in the Isenberg School,” 

notes the program’s faculty director, Catherine West. “This year has been 

every bit as busy,” continues West, who is a CPA and lecturer in the school’s 

undergraduate accounting and master’s degree programs. Three nights a week 

during tax season, West, retired UMass administrator Ted Los (who supervises 

returns for foreign students), and 10 to 12 accounting students use lap-top 

computers in electronically processing and filing 25 returns for their clients, who 

flock to the free service on a first-come, first-served basis. 

“We owe much of our success to [Professor] Mike Whiteman and his course 

in federal taxation, which all students who participate in VITA must complete,” 

adds West. “Mike ran the VITA program from 1997 until three years ago, when 

I took over.” 

“Professor Whiteman pitched VITA to us in almost every class,” recalls 

Suchcicki. “His own colorful stories about his experiences as a tax lawyer 

convinced many of us that tax work could be challenging, rewarding, and fun. 

For me, VITA has also brought out two other positives—seeing the outcome of 

my own concrete work and serving the community. It doesn’t get much better 

than that.”

World Class Faculty; Cutting Edge Research 

Expanding Influence for 

Isenberg School’s Alternative 

Investments Center 

Members of the CISDM brain trust. 

CISDM, the Isenberg School’s research and 

education center that focuses on alternative 

investments, has raised its international 

profile through participation in conferences 

in South Korea and London. In September 

2007, CISDM director Tom Schneeweis and 

codirector Hossein Kazemi were featured 

speakers in Seoul at a three-day conference 

on alternative investments. The conference 

was sponsored by Korea’s largest financial 

newspaper and attended by a Who’s Who 

of Korea’s investment community. Earlier 

in the month CISDM held its own annual 

conference in Amherst that attracted 60 

leaders from industry and academe. 

During the year, CISDM’s faculty and 

research associates contributed 11 studies 

to refereed journals and books, including 

influential CISDM articles on hedge fund 

incubation and options collar-investment 

strategies. The center’s own refereed 

publication, The Journal of Alternative 

Investments, celebrated its 10th year as the 

leading journal in alternative investments 

research. And CISDM raised $300,000 from 

private donors, including a new scholarship 

fund from the Zais Group. The fund will 

provide full support for an undergraduate 

and a Ph.D. student. 

Isenberg School Professor 

Receives Prestigious FASB 

Appointment 

In July 2008, Ray 

Pfeiffer, a full 

professor in the 

Isenberg School’s 

accounting 

department, began 

a year-long position 

as Research Fellow 

with the Financial 

Ray Pfeiffer 

Accounting 

Standards Board 

(FASB) in Norwalk, Connecticut. During 

the appointment, which is awarded to 

one senior financial accounting faculty 

member nationally each year, Pfeiffer plans 

to participate in a variety of FASB research 

projects. He expects to join a research 

project team with a focus on a topic of 

interest to him and to assist other research 

teams on an “as-needed” basis. 

In addition, Pfeiffer will review and evaluate 

existing research from academic, industry, 

and regulatory sources for consumption by 

the FASB. He will also facilitate researchrelated 

communication within the FASB 

and between the FASB and accounting 

researchers beyond the board. 

Pfeiffer’s longstanding interest in accounting 

regulations and public policy goes back at 

least as far as his Ph.D. dissertation, which 

investigated whether FASB disclosure 

requirements for mortgage banks gave 

investigators fair and sufficient information 

about investing in those banks. “On the 

front end, policy research in accounting 

isn’t about producing a correct outcome. 

It’s about examining evidence that helps 

determine which stakeholders gain and 

which stakeholders lose from specific 

policy rules and regulations,” observes 

Pfeiffer, whose work has appeared in 

The Accounting Review, The Journal of 

Accounting Research, Journal of Business 

Finance & Accounting, and other top 

accounting journals. 

Professor Nagurney Excels as 

Fulbright Senior Specialist 

In March, John F. Smith Memorial Professor 

Anna Nagurney was a Fulbright Senior 

Specialist in Business Administration at 

the University of Catania, Italy. Nagurney 

lectured and conducted workshops 

exploring the theme, Complex Networks and 

Vulnerability Analysis: From Innovations in 

Theory to Education and Practice. 

During her residency, Nagurney and her host, 

Professor Patrizia Daniele of the University 

of Catania’s Department of Mathematics 

and Computer Sciences, conducted a 

workshop, Complex Networks: Equilibrium 

and Vulnerability Analysis with Applications, 

which attracted speakers and participants 

from the University of Catania and other 

Italian universities. The workshop explored 

the importance and analysis of networks, 

ranging from congested urban transportation 

systems to supply chains and the Internet. 

Nagurney began the workshop with a lecture, 

Vulnerability Analysis on Complex Networks 

from Transportation Networks to the Internet 

and Electric Power Supply Chains. 

“The three-day workshop exceeded our 

expectations—we had excellent presentations 

and lively discussions from faculty 

participants from half a dozen universities, 

and presentations by undergraduates 

and doctoral students as well,” Nagurney 

emphasized. “The audience was grateful to 

us for bringing different disciplines together 

to learn from one another. Representation by 

female educators was also outstanding.” 

Professor Nagurney’s appointment at the 

University of Catania was her second 

Fulbright award in six years. She has also held 

a Distinguished Fulbright Chair in Economics 

at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. 

Professor Nagurney is director of the Isenberg 

School’s Virtual Center for Supernetworks, 

which devises mathematical models that 

improve the interaction of transportation, 

communication, electricity, supply chain, 

financial, and other complex networks.

New Head Appointed for 


Management Program 

Haemoon Oh 

In January 2009 

Haemoon Oh will join 

the Isenberg School as 

head of its Department of 


Management. Recruited 

in a national search, Dr. 

Oh succeeds Rodney 

Warnick, who has served 

in that position since the 

spring of 2007. 

Dr. Oh comes to the Isenberg School 

from Iowa State University’s Hotel, 

Restaurant, and Institution Management 

Program, where he has been an associate 

professor and director of graduate 

education since 2002. Dr. Oh teaches 

hospitality and services marketing and 

hospitality law courses. His research 

focuses on hospitality-related customer 

satisfaction, service quality, consumer 

perceptions of price and value, brand 

perceptions, utility judgments of 

consumers, and other topics. 

Dr. Oh’s degrees include a Ph.D. 

in hospitality marketing from The 

Pennsylvania State University (1997), an 

M.S. in Hotel Administration from The 

University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and a 

B.A. from Hanyang University in South 

Korea (1989). 

New Faculty Members 

Confer Research and 

Teaching Strengths 

Three successful faculty 

searches during the 

year yielded impressive 

new faculty members 

in the Isenberg School’s 

operations management 

Ahmed Ghoniem 

and accounting 

programs. Both faculty 

members in operations management 

will teach undergraduates and doctoral 

students. Dr. Ahmed Ghoniem will teach 

courses in mathematical modeling, discrete 

mathematical programming, and supply 

chain optimization. A postdoctoral fellow 

at Virginia Tech and a 2007 Ph.D. graduate 

of that university’s program in industrial 

and systems engineering, he has conducted 

operations management and management 

science studies with Volvo Logistics North 

America and Harley Davidson. At Virginia 

Tech, he was president of that university’s 

student chapter of INFORMS. 

Dr. Senay Solak joins the 

Isenberg School from Southern 

Polytechnic State University in 

Georgia, where he has taught 

since earning his Ph.D. in 

industrial engineering from Senay Solak 

Georgia Tech in 2007. His 

teaching focus includes quantitative methods 

for analysis of supply chain operations, 

stochastic programming, and simulation. Dr. 

Solak’s research in air transport modeling 

and analysis, and his expertise in stochastic 

optimization and simulation will enhance 

the operations management program’s 

growing emphasis on supply chains and 

logistics. His research into the optimization 

of technology development will also 

complement department strengths. 

Dr. Christopher Agoglia joins the Isenberg 

School as a tenured associate professor of 

accounting. A leading researcher in the area 

of behavioral accounting, he 

will teach cost accounting to 

undergraduates, managerial 

accounting to graduate 

students, and directed study 

to doctoral students. Since 

Chris Agoglia 

earning his Ph.D. degree 

in accounting from UMass 

Amherst in 1999, Dr. Agoglia 

has been a faculty member at Drexel 

University, where he wrote articles that 

have appeared in the Journal of Accounting 

Research, The Accounting Review, and other 

refereed publications. Dr. Agoglia’s research 

employs behavioral decision theory in 

examining decision making by accountants 

and auditors. 

Virtues in Business and Other 

Organizations 

Nirenberg Professor of 

Business Leadership 

Charles C. Manz, 

fellow Isenberg 

School professor 

Robert Marx, Karen 

Manz, and Kim 

Cameron are editors 

of the new book, 

The Virtuous Organization: Insights 

from Some of the World’s Leading 

Management Thinkers (World Scientific 

Publishers). Based on a recent Academy 

of Management conference organized 

by the editors (the conference also 

spawned a special issue of the Academy 

of Management Journal), the book 

examines the influence on organizations 

of compassion, forgiveness, courage, 

integrity, and other “virtues.” The volume 

collects original articles from luminaries 

in the field, including Peter Drucker’s 

final two interviews. 

Center for Spectator Sport 

Research Generates Industry 

Ties, Student and Faculty 

Research 

Since opening its 

doors in January 

2007, the Isenberg 

School’s newest 

research center—its 

Center for Spectator 

Sport Research— 

has given sport 

management students Tracy Schoenadel 

unprecedented handson 

industry training in marketing research. 

Teaming up with sport management faculty 

members and drawing on her extensive 

industry contacts and experience, the 

center’s director, Tracy Schoenadel, has 

attracted industry partners for projects that 

have engaged undergraduate, master’s, and 

Ph.D. students in proposal writing, survey 

development and programming, statistical 

modeling, on-site execution, data analysis, 

15

Faculty and Research 

report writing, and presentations. Projects 

have included sponsorship research, onsite 

attendee studies, international studies, 

testimonials, season ticket holder studies, 

and the creation of strategic marketing plans. 

Students have also excelled in marketing the 

center and maintaining its website. 

Last year, a 

fast-growing 

roster of 

industry 

partners, 

including 

Major League 

Soccer, the 

New York 

Red Bulls, the 

Massachusetts 

Sports Partnership, Reebok, the University 

of New Mexico, and the Dew Action Sports 

Tour, supported the center and its students 

with $320,000, much of which went toward 

graduate student assistantships. In June 

2008, one of those assistants, Kari D’Elia 

’08 M.S./MBA, graduated and became the 

center’s assistant director. That will help the 

center to continue its rapid growth, which 

also includes a guest speaker program, 

interactive website, and podcast for sport 

management professionals. 

Professor Mangaliso Returns 

from South Africa with New 

Insights and Influence 

This fall, Isenberg School management 

professor Mzamo Mangaliso returns to 

the classroom after 

serving for two years as 

president and CEO of 

the National Research 

Foundation (NRF) of 

South Africa. During his 

two-year role as CEO, 

Mangaliso, a dual citizen 

of the United States and 

South Africa who grew 

up under apartheid, 

earned kudos as an 

Mzamo Mangaliso 

innovator at the foundation, which supports 

research in the natural sciences, engineering, 

technology, the social sciences, and the 

humanities. The NSF-like foundation also 

manages observatories devoted to astronomy 

and magnetic phenomena, a laboratory 

for accelerator-based services, and other 

research facilities. One of Mangaliso’s 

notable initiatives has been his advocacy of 

the South Africa Ph.D. Project, a campaign 

to increase South African Ph.D.s five-fold 

by 2025. During the coming year, Isenberg 

School students in Professor Mzamo’s 

courses in strategy and policy will benefit 

from an insider’s insights into the dynamics 

of developing nations and “North-South” 

relations. 

Ben Branch Excels in 

Distinguished Faculty Lecture 

In October, Isenberg School finance 

professor Ben Branch, as one of four 

campus-wide Distinguished Faculty 

Lecturers for the current academic year, 

made a formal presentation, If Markets Are 

Efficient, Why Aren’t You Getting Rich? to 

the UMass Amherst campus community. 

As part of his Distinguished Faculty honor, 

Humor in Advertising Out of Doors 

By and large, Isenberg School marketing professor Marc Weinberger’s 

2006 book, Humor in Advertising: A Comprehensive Analysis (M.E. 

Sharpe), lived up to the “comprehensive” cachet in its title. The book, 

coauthored with Isenberg School Ph.D. graduate Charles Gulas ’94, 

examined its subject’s history, theoretical foundations, advertising 

content, target audiences, and media channels. In the latter, however, it 

came up short in one area—outdoor advertising, such as billboards and 

other signage. “The problem was we just didn’t find studies in that area,” 

lamented Weinberger. 

To remedy that, Weinberger spent last spring on sabbatical at Duke 

University’s John W. Hartmann Center for Sales, Advertising, and 

Marketing History, which houses extensive outdoor advertising 

collections. From them, Weinberger has extracted several hundred 

examples that he and Gulas will incorporate into a forthcoming book on 

the subject. “Because outdoor advertising represents only 2 to 3 percent 

of spending on advertising, no one has considered it important enough 

to examine,” notes the Isenberg School professor. For Weinberger, 

that neglect is no laughing matter. “Outdoor advertising is a vivid part 

of Americana and popular culture,” he insists. “And it’s an egalitarian 

medium that all of us are exposed to whether we subscribe to a particular 

magazine or newspaper, or whether we watch TV or listen to radio.” 

Marc Weinberger 

16

which recognizes 

exceptional academic 

achievement, 

Branch received 

the Chancellor’s 

Medal, the highest 

honor bestowed on 

individuals for service 

to the University. 

After demonstrating 

Ben Branch 

the power of 

disciplined long-term investment 

planning, including compounding, tax 

sheltering, and leveraging of assets like 

homeownership, Branch offered his 

audience a litany of investment dos and 

don’ts. Investors should avoid hot tips 

and, for that matter, vehicles that elude 

their understanding. They should be 

wary of all fees and expenses and the 

recommendations of technical analysts. In 

addition, they should avoid investing more 

than 10 percent of a portfolio in any single 

security. 

On the positive side, Branch 

recommended investing in broad-based 

index funds, no-load funds, and tax 

sheltered vehicles. Acknowledging the 

ailing housing market, he nevertheless 

applauded the long-term financial 

performance and leverage associated 

with home ownership. He also noted that 

consumers could lower their trading costs 

by using Internet and discount brokers. 

And he recommended that investors 

diversify internationally. All but four of 83 

countries that have stock exchanges have 

yielded higher average returns than our 

own, he said. And international investment 

allows for diversification well beyond the 

capacity of the U.S. market. 

Professor Crosset 

Honored for Community 

Service Course 

In January, Associate Professor of Sport 

Management Todd Crosset received 

a 2007-2009 Faculty Fellowship for 

Youth grant from the Rhode Island and 

Massachusetts Campus Compacts. The 

Todd Crosset 

two-year $5,000 fellowship supports 

the development of faculty who pursue 

community-based learning, especially 

learning that involves critical issues 

affecting youth development. Crosset was 

recognized for his experiential learning 

class, Sport and Community Relations, 

which engages students in an annual 

initiative—Key Players. Each year, the 

project honors ten Springfield men of 

color who have a positive influence on 

children in the community. Crosset will 

use his award to strengthen his course 

and to foster new ties between the UMass 

Amherst campus and the Springfield 

community. 

Professors Peters and Manz 

Honored for Outstanding 

Journal Article 

In May, “Identifying Antecedents of Virtual 

Team Collaboration,” by Isenberg School 

management professors Linda Peters 

and Charles Manz was chosen as one of 

2008’s three Highly Commended Papers 

in Team Performance 

Management: An 

International Journal. 

Peters is Dean’ s 

Assistant Professor of 

Management. Manz is 

Nirenberg Professor of 

Business Leadership. 

Chosen by the journal’s 

editorial team, the article 

Linda Peters 

appeared in Volume 

13, 117-129 of the 

publication. Professors 

Peters and Manz have 

also collaborated on 

“Getting Teams Right 

the First Time: Keys to 

Successful Collaboration 

in the Virtual World,” in 

The Handbook of High Charles Manz 

Performance Virtual Teams 

(Jossey-Bass, 2008). 

Book Debunks Stereotypes 

in China of Former U.S. 

Servicemen 

“A generation of Chinese grew up 

dehumanizing Americans and American 

servicemen who fought in World 

War II, Korea, and Vietnam,” remarks 

Isenberg School Director of Information 

Management Kaimei Zheng. “I wrote 

my book, Wars in the Eyes of American 

Soldiers: from WWII and the Korean 

War to Vietnam (Xinhua Publishers), to 

dispel such 

misperceptions 

among Chinese 

readers. Zheng’s 

book, which 

collects oral 

histories from 

11 American 

servicemen, 

has sold over 

10,000 copies 

in China since 

its publication 

in January 

2008. “Early 

readers have 

exclaimed— 

’They’re [American servicemen] really 

human beings too!’ That’s just the message 

that I hoped they’d come away with,” 

notes Zheng, who teaches a course in 

business website design and leads Isenberg 

School students on two-week class trips to 

China.

A Year of Progress in Alumni Support 

Strong results in all areas of giving from alumni, faculty/staff, parents, 

foundations and friends powered the Isenberg School of Management 

to an outstanding fundraising year. 

• Total giving dollars doubled 

• Major gifts increased 65% 

• Annual Fund revenue rose 17% making the Isenberg School the 

number one revenue-producing unit on campus in this category 

Thank you for your vote of confidence in the Isenberg School! 

Three areas of support were especially critical to our overall success 

this year: Major gifts for student scholarships, foundation funding to 

support undergraduate programs, and alumni giving to endow the 

Richard Simpson Professorship in Accounting. Increased support for 

existing scholarships and gifts that focus on specific areas of academic 

support also played a key role in driving our total giving from $1.62 

million last year to $3.29 million in 2007/08. 

The adjacent charts provide a comparison of this year’s revenue 

results. The overall trend line makes our progress very clear. The 

number of individuals donating to the Isenberg School is up and we are 

above the University average in participation. The number of donors 

increased this year to a record 3,207 for the Annual Fund and 4,212 

overall. Those gains reflect the Development Office and the school’s 

commitment to more outreach and to finding ways to reconnect with 

our alumni. 

Overall, we are well-positioned to continue this positive trend thanks 

to the enthusiasm and commitment of our alumni to the future of the 

Isenberg School of Management.

“When I was an 

MBA student at the 

Isenberg School and an 

undergraduate at Western 

New England College, 

I received financial 

assistance as a former 

member of the U.S. 

armed forces. It really 

made a difference in 

my life,” notes 

Kevin S. Delbridge ’85 

MBA. To give future 

Isenberg School students 

some financial leverage 

for their education, 

Delbridge, who is a 

senior managing director 

with the Boston based 

private equity firm, 

HarbourVest Partners 

LLC, has established a 

needs-based scholarship 

for students from the 

Springfield area. Why 

Springfield? “That’s my 

home town. It’s where 

Kevin S. Delbridge ’85 MBA 

I grew up and got much 

of my education,” he 

remarks. “I place a very 

high value on education, 

and education is an 

important tool needed 

to succeed in the U.S. 

and global economies. 

I believe that defraying 

some of the cost of a 

business education for 

Springfield area students 

is a great way to help out 

and to give back.”

“As a student I was a recipient of the accounting department’s 

Young Alum Award myself,” remarks Isenberg School graduate 

Shayhan Mozaffar ’03, who presented this year’s honor to 

Reginald Nazaire ’09 at the School’s annual Accounting Recognition 

Program in May. Accounting graduates Brian Roughan ’98 and David 

Mason ’99 created the annual award to assist outstanding students who 

have worked throughout their academic careers. “Brian and Dave both 

worked constantly during their years at the Isenberg School. Because 

of his combined work and academic load, it took Brian eight years 

to graduate,” notes Mozaffar. “As I student I met Brian at a recruiting 

event. I received the award that year,” explains Mozaffar, who had been 

straddling three part-time jobs that year with his accounting studies. 

“The scholarship made a real difference in my life. 

Once I graduated, I chipped in and 

have been doing so ever since.”

Vanessa Leal ’09 

According to Vanessa Leal ’09, 

spending two weeks in Ghana 

with her Isenberg School 

classmates in 2007 was a 

deeply moving experience. 

“By imparting business 

and computing skills to a 

local community, we had 

a truly positive impact,” 

recalled the Isenberg school 

marketing major as keynote 

undergraduate speaker at 

the Isenberg School’s annual 

awards banquet. “That 

experience led me to the idea 

of obtaining an international 

internship,” she continued. 

In the summer of 2008, Leal 

did just that by interning in 

Kuwait with the international 

marketing firm, BBDO. “I 

landed the position, but like 

many similar internships, it 

came with no compensation.” 

Fortunately for Leal, the new 

Robert Morrisson Atwater 

Scholarship was available 

to help her defray living and 

transportation expenses. 

Created by Robert Morrisson 

Atwater ‘86, who lives in 

London and has extensive 

experience in international 

business, the scholarship 

offers worthy students like 

Leal financial assistance 

with overseas study and 

international internships.

“I’ve created a permanent scholarship at the Isenberg School to give deserving undergraduates the 

same opportunities that I had as a student,” observes Isenberg School graduate Edward D. Shirley ‘77. “The 

scholarship will target undergraduates who have pushed beyond their comfort zones to embrace 

international experiences, internships, and other challenges.” Ed, who became Vice Chair of 

Global Beauty & Grooming with Procter & Gamble in July, has followed that precept 

throughout a 30-year career at Procter & Gamble and Gillette. A graduate 

of the Isenberg School’s accounting program, he spent his first decade 

with Gillette in accounting and finance positions. By 1991, at Gillette’s 

Oral B subsidiary, he had incorporated sales and marketing management 

into his skill set. Later in the 1990s, he was president of Oral-B North 

America, Braun Europe, and of Gillette’s European operations. Ed returned 

to Boston in 2002 in top positions with Gillette’s international business, 

and moved to Cincinnati in 2005 as president of international commercial 

operations with Procter & Gamble following its merger with Gillette. “After 

many years away from Massachusetts, I was happy to reconnect with the 

Isenberg School when I moved back to Boston,” he recalls. Since then that 

connection has intensified: In addition to creating his scholarship, Ed is an Edward D. Shirley ’77 

active member of the School’s Business Advisory Council.

The Richard H. Simpson 

Professorship in Accounting 

Our accounting department’s first endowed professorship, 

which honors professor Richard H. Simpson, represents the 

collective generosity of hundreds of accounting alumni and 

their employers. To make a gift to the fund, contact 

Ed Brozman at brozman@som.umass.edu. 

“If anyone deserves an endowed professorship 

named in his honor it’s Dick Simpson,”emphasizes 

John N. Spinney, Jr. ’87. “He’s made a huge 

positive difference to thousands of students and 

through their education he’s created tremendous 

intellectual capital for their firms.” In November 

2007 Spinney and former Isenberg School undergraduate 

dean and Ph.D. accounting graduate 

Dennis Hanno ’90 Ph.D. decided to make 

the Simpson professorship—the school’s first 

endowed professorship in accounting—a reality 

by mobilizing the school’s accounting alumni and 

making lead gifts of their own. 

Spinney’s own substantial gift provided initial 

financial leverage that helped the school’s 

development director, Ed Brozman, engage 

hundreds of alumni in the initiative—The Richard 

H. Simpson 

Professorship in 

Accounting. By 

the end of June, 

accounting alumni 

had contributed 

$1 million toward 

the $1.5 million 

professorship. 

“One reason why 

Dick was such 

a great professor 

was his own ‘real 

time’ research 

into new and 

evolving accounting John N. Spinney, Jr. ’87 

standards,” recalls 

Spinney, who is 

COO and CFO of the Boston based investment 

firm, Bracebridge Capital, LLC. “We’d discuss and 

learn in real time how to implement new standards 

while they were being approved by the FASB. 

Anyone who has taken intermediate or advanced 

accounting with Dick knows first hand the value 

that he added to their skill set before leaving 

UMass. He is truly one of a kind.”

“Without question, Professor Simpson 

played an incredibly special role in 

making me realize how fulfilling a career 

as a CPA could be. I actually took only 

one class with Dick Simpson, but it was as 

inspirational and memorable as any class 

that I’ve taken before or since,” recalls 

Isenberg School accounting alumnus 

Joseph Floyd ’83. “In that course— 

Advanced Accounting—Dick brought not 

only remarkable energy and insight to 

the subject, but he also displayed a true 

passion for the importance of financial 

reporting”, reminisces Floyd, who was 

one of the founders of Huron Consulting 

Group in 2002, a company that now 

employees over 2000 people. “The 

course also offered five-hour exams on 

Friday nights—great preparation for the 

CPA exam but also somewhat of a loss to 

one’s social life.” 

Last February, Floyd and his wife Janet ’86 

made a key gift to the Isenberg School’s 

campaign to create its first endowed 

faculty position in accounting, the Richard 

H. Simpson Professorship in Accounting. 

“For me, Dick’s influence went way 

beyond the classroom,” Floyd continues. 

“As a young public accountant in Boston, 

I reached out to Dick to discuss my career 

and get his advice, including the benefits 

of going to law school.” Floyd went on to 

earn a J.D. degree from Suffolk University 

and to specialize professionally in the 

nascent field that combined accounting 

with litigation and forensics. He later 

served as the partner in charge of Arthur 

Andersen’s Financial Consulting practice 

in New England. Today, he leads Huron’s 

Northeast region from New York City. 

“Janet and I are elated to help establish the 

endowed professorship, not only did we 

both graduate from UMass, but we met 

there and now have the privilege of being 

UMass parents with our son Bill attending 

UMass and, yes, studying accounting.”

“I’m thrilled to sponsor, in conjunction with 

McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, a scholarship for 

a worthy accounting student,” emphasizes 

Isenberg School accounting graduate and 

McGladrey director, John B. McNamara 

’81 ’82 M.S. Although McGladrey & Pullen 

is the 5th largest accounting firm—right 

behind the Big 4—it focuses on middle market 

clients with revenue in the $100 million to 

$1 billion range. “Our scholarship is reserved 

for a sophomore who seeks a career in 

public accounting focusing on middle market 

companies,” notes McNamara. In the last 

five years, outstanding students with those 

aspirations have made the UMass Amherst 

campus an attractive recruiting destination 

for McGladrey & Pullen, with McNamara 

leading the recruiting initiative. Each year 

the firm has offered internships and hired 

two to three graduating seniors. The growing 

UMass Amherst and Isenberg School network 

at McGladrey & Pullen in its Boston office 

includes two directors and another ten 

staff professionals. Many others, he adds, 

are employed with the firm in its offices 

around the globe. “Next year, with greater 

participation in the scholarship from members 

of that network, I expect the award to grow,” 

predicts McNamara.

“My brothers and I all went to the School of Management and had a 

great experience at UMass Amherst,” observes Bobby D’Angelo ’77. 

“We’ve been very successful and hire a lot of UMass graduates so we 

decided that it was time to give back.” The four D’Angelo siblings own 

and operate Twins Enterprise, the premier producer and distributor of 

professional sports caps and other apparel that grew out of the family’s 

iconic souvenir store on Yawkey Way outside Fenway Park. In 2006, the 

D’Angelos moved their headquarters to Dedham. The Fenway Park shop 

remains a landmark. 

“Because we’re in a sports-related business, a scholarship to the Isenberg 

School’s sport management program made a great deal of sense,” 

continues D’Angelo. “And because we’re advocates of learning by 

doing, we wanted to encourage experiential learning. So on advice 

from the department’s head, Lisa Masteralexis, we decided to focus on 

international student travel.” Thanks to the D’Angelos, a worthy sport 

management student will receive financial assistance each year that will 

defray part of the cost of travel to Australia in the department’s annual 

class trip to that country.

“Stan taught grad students, so it’s fitting 

that the annual Stanley Young Memorial 

Award go to them,” observes Stan’s 

brother, Isaac Young, an attorney in St. 

Louis. Isaac established the award with 

a significant lead gift after the former 

Isenberg School Professor emeritus 

died at age 82 in March of 2007. 

Since then many of Stan’s colleagues 

and friends have 

strengthened the fund 

with their contributions. 

Professor Young 

joined the Isenberg 

School’s management 

department in 1956, 

the same year he 

earned a Ph.D. in 

Industrial Relations 

from the Wharton 

School. He was an 

active member of the

Isenberg School faculty until 1991, 

when he became professor emeritus. 

“Stan’s global perspective and 

international teaching experience made 

him a citizen of the world,” recalls 

former Isenberg School dean Thomas 

O’Brien. “He was a favorite professor 

of our brighter, more serious students.” 

Isaac Young concurs: “Honoring a 

deserving grad student with the award 

each year is a great way to perpetuate 

some of the innovative thinking in 

management and labor relations that 

was Stan’s hallmark.”

When the Saudi materials giant SABIC bought 

GE Plastics in June of 2007, Cecilia Shea ’83, 

the former firm’s chief information officer for 

commercial enterprises, embraced change as 

an opportunity. The Isenberg School alumna 

became chief information officer of SABIC 

Innovative Plastics, which does business in 

60 countries. During her first year with SABIC, 

Shea recruited Isenberg School and other UMass 

Amherst students and became an active member 

of the School’s Business Advisory Council. 

She also encouraged SABIC’s participation 

as a financial sponsor in the Technology 

Innovation Challenge, 

an annual campus-wide 

business plan competition 

that helps students bring 

technological innovations to 

market. According to Shea, 

her firm’s sponsorship of 

the competition dovetails 

perfectly with its own 

priorities: “At SABIC, 

Cecilia Shea ’83 

continuous innovation and 

marketability go hand in hand.”
