The question in the title of this post is an interesting one. If you attended the Turner College's Fall 2025 Welcome Back Event you might think the answer is three. According to presentations from that day, these would be the TSYS Center for Cybersecurity, the Butler Center for Research and Economic Development, and the new Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation. The TSYS Center for Cybersecurity is easily the one that has been covered the most on this blog. Its most recent Director Patrick Aiken developed the cybersecurity Nexus program, which is one of the crown jewels of the College. Now that Center has a new Director - Sean Glieberman - and he hinted at some very exciting things for it in both the near and long term. The Butler Center is led by economist Fady Mansour. Although he is new to the position, his assistance in securing the new minor league baseball team was a major win for CSU and the Turner College. Mansour's activities are often covered here at Turner Business. As indicated in a recent post, the new Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation will be led by Kirk Heriot. His activities surrounding BizPitch are covered regularly on these pages and moving forward these will include the new Center. The fourth center is the Center for Economic Education, which is led by economist Frank Mixon. A September 2022 blog here at Turner Business profiles this particular center, which is affiliated with the Georgia Council on Economic Education in Atlanta. Be sure to check that one out. Finally, if you attended either of the two departmental meetings on August 6th, both of which were held in Room 305 of the Synovus Center, you were, as per the stock ticker at the front of the room, sitting in the Center for Financial Markets Research and Financial Analysis. We did a feature on this Center for Turner Business, possibly when we were a print magazine. We are still searching for a link to that, and we think finance professor Brett Cotten was referred to in it as this Center's director.
