Marylhurst is doing a little cross-pollinating with George Fox University.
Susan Marcus, faculty and program lead for the Accelerated Online MBA program within
the School of Business, has been asked to serve on the Doctor of Business Administration
advisory board at GFU. Along with colleagues from Concordia, Warner Pacific and Northwest
University, Susan will be an outside evaluator for the DBA student instructional units.
Their assessment will help ensure student portfolios reflect appropriate levels of
academic rigor. This board plays a key role in the accreditation process for GFU's
DBA program.
This advisory role is a perfect fit with Susan's work as co-chair of the assessment
committee here at Marylhurst, and also with her role as co-lead for the academic excellence
initiative within the School of Business' strategic planning process. Through collaborations
such as this one, best practices are shared, peer relationships are deepened, and
opportunities emerge for enhanced educational offerings.
Dr. Susan Carter, interim chair of the MA in Interdisciplinary Studies Department, was named vice president of the Pacific Northwest Region of the American Academy of Religion / Society of Biblical Literature in May 2013.
