I wholeheartedly support Dr. Bradbury’s application for a promotion to full professor. She has played a leadership role in growing the finance program. Understanding the challenges in teaching a quantitative discipline, she often takes new initiatives to make her class more interesting. Examples include inviting guest speakers to her classroom, founding the student investment club, and organizing the finance advisory board, which consists of industry leaders. Regarding scholarship, Dr. Bradbury is an accomplished scholar with steady publications in peer-reviewed journals. Also, she recently completed her industry certification in personal financial planning. Dr. Bradbury is an indispensable asset to the community. She has chaired the human resource committee at the School of Business for many years. The HR committee is one of the four standing committees at the School of Business that plays critical functions, such as processing professional development funds, planning faculty retirement parties, and other HR-related roles. Her other services include PSU’s Graduate Curriculum Committee and the Circle Program in the Town of Plymouth.
