Khayum appointed USI associate dean two
others named to key post
Three new leaders are ushering in the new year with additional
responsibilities in the University of Southern Indiana School of Business.
Dr.
Mohammed Khayum is now associate dean of the school and director of the MBA
Program. Dr. Jong Rhim has assumed the role of chair of the Department of
Economics and Finance, and Dr. Sang Choe, chair of the Department of
Management and Marketing.
Khayum, professor of economics, joined USI in 1991 and served as chair of
the Department of Economics and Finance from 2001 until his recent
appointment, effective January 5.
He has extensive experience in matters related to the attainment and
maintenance of accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate
Schools of Business as well as an excellent understanding of the regional
business community.
"The School of Business at USI has been very fortunate to have individuals
of outstanding character with demonstrated leadership skills serve as
associate dean of the school and director of the MBA Program," said Dr.
Eugene Klippel, dean of the School of Business.
"I am confident the appointment of Dr. Mohammed Khayum as the school's next
associate dean will continue this fine tradition."
Khayum holds three degrees in economics: a bachelor's from University of
Guyana, and a master's and doctorate from Temple University.
He has written two books on economic issues related to developing countries,
and his research interests include input-output analysis, service sector
growth, economic development, exchange rate determination, consumption
behavior, and the New Economy.
Khayum also prepares the quarterly Business Conditions and Outlook Survey
and compiles the Evansville Factbook, a compendium of demographic, economic,
and social information about Southwestern Indiana. Both are published by the
USI School of Business.
Khayum succeeds Dr. Ernest Hall Jr., who had served as associate dean and
director of the MBA Program since August 2000. Hall will continue as
professor of management.
Dr. Jong Rhim, professor of finance, succeeds Khayum as chair of the
Department of Economics and Finance. Rhim, who joined the University in
1989, holds a doctorate from University of Missouri-Columbia. His research
interests are corporate financial issues such as capital project analysis,
capital structure management, foreign exchange markets, and behavior of
security prices.
Dr.
Sang Choe, professor of marketing, is now leading the Department of
Management and Marketing. He earned a doctorate in business administration
from Mississippi State University and joined the USI faculty in 1985. His
research interests include consumer behavior, international marketing, and
research methodology. He also is advisor to the Marketing Club.
