Mary Lyn Stoll received her PhD in philosophy from Purdue University in 2002.  Her dissertation dealt with moral obligation in a global economy focusing upon the environment, the poor, and ways in which businesses can help or hinder us in meeting moral obligations.  Dr. Stoll taught at Minnesota State University, Mankato and at Muskingum College prior to joining USI in August of 2005.
