I am proud to announce the Lutgert College of Business’ recipients of the 2024 Marguerite Howard Research Fellowships, Drs. Lan Jiang and Ashley Mandeville.

These fellowships were announced in Fall of 2020, using funds allocated from the estate of the late Marguerite Howard “to endow a professorship, a chair, provide annual scholarships, or any similar arrangement that may be structured with the University.”

The selection committee, composed of Lutgert Eminent Scholars, felt all the applicants were very strong with impressive research records, and deciding on the top two was not an easy decision. Ultimately, the number of A* and A publications since 2018 was the deciding factor.

Congratulations to Lan and Ashley!

-Chris Westley, Dean, the Lutgert College of Business
