Among other areas, your gift can support these important Farmer School of Business areas and programs:
The retiring baby boom generation, coupled with a decline in new doctoral candidates, forces Miami to compete for new faculty from a declining pool of applicants. The school seeks to establish endowed positions to attract and retain outstanding faculty at all ranks: Endowed Chairs, Distinguished Professorships, Faculty Fellowships and funds for Faculty Excellence.
At the Farmer School of Business, students receive a broad-based Miami University education paired with a business curriculum that prepares them for leadership in a pluralistic, challenging environment. To equip them further for such leadership, we offer many international opportunities to enhance their educational experience. The majority of students who don't participate in an international program cite expense as the number one reason. It is our desire for 100% of Farmer School students to participate in at least one international experience.
The Farmer School of Business is continually seeking new and exciting ways to engage students in meaningful ways. To achieve this we must continue to be innovative. Unrestricted funds allow us to upgrade facilities, enhance and create new educational programs and improve an already challenging and cutting edge education.
This endowment has been created in recognition of Dr. Tom Speh's distinguished career at Miami University and in the Supply Chain, Physical Distribution and Logistics industry. Dr. Speh has made a profound difference in thousands of people’s lives through his teaching, mentoring and career guidance and influence. He has represented Miami University on a global scale for more than three decades with love and honor. The annual distribution from this endowment will be used to supplement the compensation and benefits package designed to attract and retain a high quality assistant professor in Supply Chain Management.
