Dana's business administration faculty are more than just teachers, they are mentors who have hit the books to earn high degrees and spent decades learning about business from Real World University. Each member of Dana's business faculty are dedicated to helping students achieve their individual career and life goals.

Here's a little bit about each member of the faculty. Please click on their names to read full bios:

Professor Carol King, assistant professor of business administration, says she thinks the worst reason to do anything is because that is the way it has always been done. She spent years in the workplace before earning her bachelor's degree at Dana. She says she loves teaching at Dana because of the personal relationships she can form with her students, and she takes the responsibility of educating them very seriously. Her email address is cking@dana.edu.

Professor Brenda Mechels, director of the sport management program, also works as head coach of Dana's women's basketball team. Her email address is bmechels@dana.edu.

Professor David Miller, assistant professor of business administration (marketing), has always taught that the Golden Rule is the most important law of business. (It took a while for the business world to catch up with him, but with the Enron days over, he thinks they're finally getting the message.) As a Special Operations helicopter pilot in Vietnam, he discovered the power of meditation. As an instructor at Dana, he incorporates marketing techniques and spirituality into his classes. His email address is dmiller@dana.edu.

Dr. James Smith, assistant professor of business (information systems), learned about management from his college days as a drive-in theater assistant manager and 21 years in the Air Force. During his time in the military, he earned advanced degrees in public administration and was a student or teacher at 14 different institutions of higher learning. His email address is jsmith@dana.edu.

Dr. Susan Udey, associate professor of business administration, loves to see the look on a student's face when they finally "get" a concept. She believes being involved in campus and community organizations is vital to students' success, and it's a belief she holds to her own life as well. She's active in many Blair organizations and volunteers during tax season to prepare returns. Her email is sudey@dana.edu.
