Faculty shared reflections on what makes the Monte Ahuja College of Business a place where teaching and research thrive. 

Tracy Porter, Ph.D., Marketing Department Chair

"Cleveland State has allowed me to fully express myself as both a scholar and educator, rather than confining me to a narrow path. This freedom has enabled me to develop a service-learning course in which human resource students collaborated with military veterans as they transitioned to the public sector, as well as to contribute as a visiting scholar with the Cleveland Clinic. I am deeply grateful to Cleveland State for these opportunities, and it is an honor to serve each day."

Shuya “Subrina” Lu, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Marketing, 

"A highlight of my time at CSU has been the opportunity to work in an environment that values both autonomy and connection. I have had the freedom to pursue research questions that matter to me, develop courses around areas of strong student interest, and engage with students in ways that are meaningful and authentic. That combination of trust, support, and shared purpose has made my experience at CSU especially rewarding."  

We proudly celebrate these faculty members on their well-earned promotions. Their dedication to teaching, research, and service continues to elevate the Monte Ahuja College of Business and inspire our students every day.
