This post takes a look at the deployment of business faculty in the Turner College across each of its undergraduate academic programs, which include accounting, finance, management, marketing and MIS. The table below lists the names of the tenured and tenure-track faculty who are servicing each of the five majors. As indicated in the table, three accounting faculty, Jasmine Bordere , Charles Boster and Fonda Carter , constitute the corps of instruction for that academic major. An October 2025 post here at Turner Business indicates that this discipline currently has 87 majors, meaning that there are 29.0 accounting majors in the Turner College for each accounting professor. Next, the table points out that four faculty, Joshua Brooks , Brett Cotten , Gisung Moon and Uma Sridharan , serve the 113 finance majors in the Turner College. This means that there are 28.3 finance majors in the Turner College for each finance professor. With 11 management faculty, including Phil Bryant , John ...

According to information provided in Ty Tagami's recent report for Capitol Beat , there is good news ahead for Turner College faculty and staff. In recent days  Georgia lawmakers reached a compromise on the mid-year budget, fulfilling priorities of Georgia's House, Senate and Governor's Office. The process was not without ups and downs, however, given that in order t o overcome an impasse after the state House and state Senate took money from each other’s priorities — and from Gov. Brian Kemp’s — to pay for their own projects, Kemp had to dig up an extra $1.4 billion in surplus funds.  So, as Tagami indicates the amended fiscal year budget for 2026 that was a $42.3 billion is now nearly $43.7 billion.  A chunk of that is for one-time givebacks to taxpayers.  The Georgia House put $850 million into the budget for property tax rebates to Georgia homeowners. Governor  Kemp originally placed $250 income tax rebates ($500 for couples filing jointly) into his budget r...

CSU alum Sharai Brown  graduated from the Turner College with a degree in marketing in 2019. Since then, she has worked as Brand Advocate Analyst for Home Depot, a management consultant with Accenture, and most recently as a customer experience management consultant with A&MPLIFY by Alvarez and Marsal. Sharai recently posted some advice on "advice" to her LinkedIn page that Turner Business decided to pass along. "I’ve been thinking a lot about hindsight lately.  There have been moments in my life where I was given solid advice — advice that, if applied sooner, could have led to stronger relationships, better decisions, and more stability. But at the time, I didn’t fully act on it.  Not because I didn’t value it — but because I wasn’t always equipped to apply it yet.  Sometimes advice is like being told to make peanut butter from scratch — valuable, even better for you — but difficult to execute if you don’t yet understand the process, tools, or steps to begin....
