Meet the Faculty Director

Our Faculty Director is Professor James E. Post.  As a senior faculty member at the School of Management, Professor Post is the John F. Smith, Jr. Professor in Management and has taught seminars on leadership, values, and ethics in the Honors Program since 2004.

“The Honors Program is a gem among SMG’s many outstanding academic programs. It connects outstanding undergraduates with faculty whose research is at the leading edge of business.” As faculty director, Post will oversee the progress of Honors Program students, focus on curriculum improvements, and develop opportunities for faculty and students to engage with one another. “I look forward to working with Dean Procopio and the undergraduate program staff who do such a great job of supporting the Honors Program.”

Professor Post has taught in nearly all of SMG’s programs over the years, and has served as faculty director of the Public & Nonprofit Management program, the Doctoral Program, and chairman of the Strategy & Policy department (now the Strategy & Innovation department).  His research is in the area of corporate governance and accountability, professional ethics, and public affairs management. He has written many books and articles, and is often quoted in the business press.  He has given numerous interviews to print and digital media on issues related to the financial crisis and the need for ethics reform. In 2010, he was recognized as Faculty Pioneer for Lifetime Achievement from the prestigious Aspen Institute.
