Professor For A Day, Karl LaPan

Richard T. Doermer School of Business (DSB) hosted Karl LaPan, CEO for the Northeast Indiana Innovation Center, as Professor for a Day, on February 21.

LaPan met with DSB faculty and students at a luncheon for faculty and students in the Rhinehart Building. Following lunch LaPan visited two classes, met with DSB Dean Otto Chang, and visited an evening class.

The Professor for a Day program is designed to introduce faculty and students to contemporary business issues faced by northeast Indiana business firms. Professors for a Day are invited to speak to upper level undergraduate and MBA students in policy and strategy courses. That person opens the session with a topic that is contemporary and relevant to his or her organization, explains the situation and its impact on the organization's business model, shares the company's approach to resolution, and invites student input and questions.
