MS in Accounting Director Kevin Jones was interviewed by Accountability Talks with AGA on how important it is to continue your education post college.

If you utilize something without paying it for it, like a park, it makes you a free rider. And finding solutions to sustain these resources is harder than you think.

It eventually will fail" in an interview with Business Insider. 

Victoria Grady wrote an article for RealLeaders on individual and organizational change, and the challenges of getting unstuck at work. 

Dean Maury Peiperl was interviewed by The Street on the unionization of Starbucks: he notes that Starbucks' customers are more progressive.

Finance Professor Derek Horstmeyer, along with finance students Patrick McManus and Alex Oliver, wrote an article for the CFA Institute, highlighting their research that despite retail investors having greater access to diversification tools (i.e. emerging market and frontier market ETFs), diversification in a global sense has actually gotten more difficult (or less beneficial) over the past 40 years.

Derek Horstmeyer, finance professor, was interviewed by ETF.com on a recent FINRA proposal.

Finance Professor Derek Horstmeyer, along with finance students Cameron Hair and Georgi Minov, wrote an article for The Wall Street Journal on how they were able to show that it is central bank synchronization (when all banks are going up in their interest rates, or when all banks are going down in their rates) that yields the most extreme results for our markets.
