New UTD Faculty This Year
This 2022-2023 academic year, the University of Texas at Dallas welcomes dozens of new faculty members to campus. These professors add new layers of depth to the UTD team as accomplished researchers and engaging instructors. Among the new faces at the Jindal School of Management is assistant professor Dr. Jennifer Lee who specializes in Strategic Management research.
About Professor Lee’s Education
For her undergraduate degree, professor Lee attended Northwestern University, finishing in 2010. Moving on to the University of Southern California where she majored in Economics, professor Lee completed her master’s degree in 2012. She earned her Ph.D. in Strategic Management at Michigan State University this past Spring of 2022.
Her research interests include corporate governance, shareholder activism, and temporal orientation. Her work has appeared in academic publications such as Strategic Management Journal.
Joining UTD Faculty
Since UTD is one of the top schools for research in Strategic Management, professor Lee felt that the opportunity to become an assistant professor at Jindal was an incredibly attractive prospect. In addition to the wealth of resources offered to her on campus, professor Lee was intrigued by the idea of a potential move to Dallas. As a rapidly growing central hub, the DFW area presents unique opportunities to business school researchers like herself. Professor Lee views being accepted into the UTD faculty as one of her great professional accomplishments, and she looks forward to even more successes with the school in the future.
Professor Lee’s New Role at UTD
Professor Lee began work on the UTD campus on August 1st. In addition to her research on corporate governance, she will begin teaching Business Policy and Strategy classes to undergraduates in the Spring Semester.
Beyond the classroom, professor Lee enjoys active hobbies like tennis, yoga, and scuba diving. This past summer, she went adventuring across Europe with her beloved, and now well-traveled, small white dog. professor Lee regarded coming to UTD as a dream come true, and the staff and faculty at the Jindal School of Management are just as thrilled to have her with them on campus.
