Bill Rogers

William Rogers

Assistant Professor of Business

This is my second career. After almost three decades in finance as an investment professional, I deliver to my students a holistic approach to business. My goal as a teacher is for my students to learn the fundamentals and theory of business but more importantly to apply those principles to the real world. The pandemic has made it more important now more than ever to understand what drives and will drive the US and World economies. The economic crisis has sped up trends that normally take years into months creating new opportunities. It is my job to make students aware of these trends so that when they graduate, they will be prepared to identify career choices that are in step with these trends.
