Aubrey’s research focused on the correlation between political party association by state on the gender wage gap in that respective state. Matthew Keller and Ben Milam also presented their thesis research at the Association of Marketing Theory and Practice Conference in Charleston, South Carolina. Presenting at an academic conference is uncommon for business undergraduate students, as most presenters are professors and Ph.D. students. Both students worked with Dr. Jamye Foster, associate professor of marketing, as their thesis advisor during their interdisciplinary research, both of which brought together marketing and finance concepts. Two recent marketing graduates also presented at the conference. Alumna Michelle Le presented her interdisciplinary research on “The Impact of Brand Love, Brand Attachment and Electronic Shopping Experiences Satisfaction on Consumer Willingness to Write Reviews.” Her thesis advisors were Dr. Joanne T. Cao, assistant professor of marketing, and Dr. Gallayanee Yaoyuneyong, professor of merchandising. Alumnus Tally Shaw examined social media likes/shares impact on key marketing outcomes with the help of his thesis advisor, Dr. Melinda McLelland, associate professor of marketing. Through an experimental design, he compared the outcomes in both a local/small market and a large/national market. Tally is currently employed as an account representative with Howard Technology Solutions. 42 | C O L L E G E O F B U S I N E S S A N D E C O N O M I C D E V E L O P M E N T
