☆ Hall of Fame ☆

BADM 7020 Managerial Statistics

In a world adorned with numerous halls of fame, celebrating achievements in both sporting and non-sporting domains, a compelling thought dawned upon me – the inception of an academic hall of fame, dedicated to commemorating the exceptional contributions of my former students who enriched my teaching journey with joy and fulfillment.

This envisioned Hall of Fame holds a significant purpose – to bestow recognition upon the "best and brightest" students who partook in my MBA course on managerial statistics at LSU over the past two decades. Their selection was meticulously conducted, with a keen eye on academic brilliance, demonstrated leadership qualities, and the unmistakable potential that foretells a promising future. As I warmly welcome the deserving inductees, I cannot help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride for their exceptional accomplishments!
