In May I joined the Fox School of Business communications and PR team. I’ve written about the position and shared clips before, but here is a recent update of some (not all) of my work. A complete collection of my work for the Fox School can be found on the school’s homepage, www.fox.temple.edu
In just four semesters, undergraduate students in the Fox School’s entrepreneurial marketing course, popularly known as 10-10-10, have raised more than $50,000 for an array of charities and organizations, but their impact goes beyond even that impressive monetary value.
Dr. Sanat Sarkar, a key member of the Fox School’s Department of Statistics for nearly 30 years, was recently named Cyrus H.K. Curtis Professor, an endowed professorship that supports his research and travel.
In his 30 years at Fox, Sarkar has authored more than 70 papers, received top awards and grant funding in recognition of his work, and supervised approximately 20 PhD students.
Early this semester, Fox professor Krupa Viswanathan took six of her top actuarial students to the Travelers Case Competition in Hartford, Conn.
Competing against actuarial students from Bentley University, Bryant University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute and the University of Connecticut, Viswanathan’s students were given five hours to analyze a case relevant to Travelers Insurance and then present their findings to a panel of executives.
Wenhao Zuo and Pete Grant, Fox School finance and international business double majors, have been named Financial Management Association (FMA) Collegiate Fellows – a title only 23 students nationwide received this year.

To date, some of my published clips include the following:
When Patience Lehrman immigrated from a village in Cameroon, West Africa, to a small town in Washington state, she never imagined she would one day sit at a White House roundtable advising top immigration policymakers. But this May, that is exactly what Lehrman, a recent Fox School of Business Executive MBA graduate and national director of Temple’s Project SHINE (Students Helping in the Naturalization of Elders), found herself doing…
A friend once told Arlene Dowd, “Always pick up the biggest brush you have and just start painting.”
That’s the approach Dowd, administrative coordinator for the Fox School of Business’ Human Resource Management Department, took with a recent fundraising project — a bird’s-eye-view painting of a packed Liacouras Center…
This May tourism educators and industry professionals from around the world traveled to Temple University’s Main Campus to hear 37 presenters from 11 countries speak at the Tourism Education Futures Institute (TEFI) World Congress.
