“Tim has long been considered a prodigious and leading researcher in the area of industrial and organizational psychology — and this recognition further bolsters that well-earned reputation,” said Ben Tepper, chair of Fisher’s Department of Management and Human Resources. “Tim’s tremendous work as a researcher is just one way he continues to serve the college. His vision and dedication have helped propel Fisher’s Leadership Initiative forward as the college works to equip and prepare the next generation of principled leaders.”
