EKU School of Business: 5Q Series
Five Questions – To Help You Get to Know Us
The Eastern Kentucky University School of Business: 5Q Series is a way to get to know our colleagues, our students, our graduates and all of our Friends of EKU Business. We have a chance to hear from people who believe in EKU, from people who have a dream and find a way to realize that dream, and to hear from seasoned business professionals. And with this opportunity, we want to engage both our students and our future students, and all of our stakeholders, to give some insight on what goes on behind the scenes inside the School of Business. We want these interviews to act as an oral history, describing what went on in years past, what we’re working on today, and what we hope for the future. It helps us keep our Service Region informed, and gives us a chance to convey some of our current research topics and other significant accomplishments to our stakeholders. 5Q interviews are divided into these seven tracks: • School of Business Leadership Team • Current Students – Undergrad & Graduate • Degreed Business Alumni • Friends of The School of Business • Faculty in the School of Business • Staff supporting the School of Business and • Retired Faculty from the School of Business
