 Faculty & Staff

Faculty are the cornerstone of Kranner's programs. In addition to the knowledge they convey, they are dedicated to providing students with a positive educational experience. That means moving beyond typical lectures and exams to experiential learning exercises, computer simulations, and field trips. They also supervise off-site projects with corporate partners.
Shared Knowledge

EXAMPLES OF EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING
In a production/operations management class with Prof. James Ward, students run a mock factory, moving pieces of plastic tubing through a simulated production line to learn how to improve efficiency.

Students in the mergers and acquisitions course taught by Prof. Diane Denis interact with company executives as they recommend potential acquisition targets for the companies.

Students taking a supply-chain management couse taught by Associate Dean Logan Jordan allows students to partner with Honeywell executives to explore new markets for existing company technologies.


DISTINGUISHED PROFESSORS
Krannert faculty are more than educators - they are also recognized leaders in their fields of study. They serve as editors or on the editorial boards of more than 50 professional journals, and the research productivity of the school's management program is ranked among the world's best.

Two Krannert finance professors, John McConnell and Bill Lewellen, were ranked among the top five most prolific researchers of the last 50 years in 16 core academic journals, according to a study published in the Journal of Financial Literature. Many of our faculty members provide consulting services to Fortune 500 companies, while others work on projects funded by government agencies, private foundations, and corporate sponsors.

STUDENT / PROFESSOR INTERACTION
Krannert promotes an active dialogue between professors and students. Enjoying a student-faculty ratio better than 4-to-1, our master's students establish strong relationships with the faculty and find boundless opportunities for collaboration and learning. This occurs both in the classroom and in more casual settings, such as the weekly master's social hour. Ultimately, our faculty will not only be your teachers, but also your mentors and friends.
