I was promoted to a Full Professor of Finance in the Fall of 2007 and served as Chair of the Finance Department from 2008 to 2010. I am a winner of many research awards and grants, including four Seton Hall Researcher of the Year Awards, a Bright Idea Award in Finance, a Real Estate Research Institute Research Grant, a number of Beck Research Awards, and many Stillman Research Achievement Awards.
