Yifei Lu joined Gies from the University of Rochester’s Simon Business School, where he earned his PhD and master’s degree. He is teaching a graduate course, ACCY 570: Data Analytics Foundations, this fall and will pursue interdisciplinary research with an interest in areas outside of traditional accounting, like environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives.
“We have known that we are no longer the sage on the stage, but a guide on the side,” said Professor Vishal Sachdev. “But I think we’re getting a little further out, where you’re essentially a curator of an experience that you want the students to have."
Gies Business Quad Day will take place Tuesday, August 22, from 3:30-6:00 pm on the south side of the South Quad. This year's Business Quad Day will include food and music and is open to all undergraduate Gies students.
