Welcome New Faculty

We have two new faculty members joining the Full-time UST MBA program core teaching staff.

Ms. Karen DeYoung will be teaching the Written Communications Lab in the fall and spring semester. Ms. DeYoung brings considerable experience in technical and business writing, and has launched and led her own consulting practice specializing in a variety of business writing-related services, for more than ten years. She has worked with organizations such as Cummins, Anderson Windows, and the Minnesota Dept. of Public Health. She also brings experience in curriculum development and course design through her work with the University of Minnesota's Humphrey Institute and Capella University. Ms. DeYoung holds a B.A. in broadcast communications from American University and an M.Ed. in curriculum and instructional systems from the University of Minnesota.

Dr. Michael DeVaughn will be teaching the Strategic Management capstone course in the spring semester. He comes to our staff most recently from the University of Minnesota's Carlson School, where he taught leadership and strategy courses in their M.B.A. program for five years. He brings considerable "real world" experience as well as impeccable academic credentials. His corporate experience includes 10 years at Ralston Purina, PepsiCo and Bank of America, where his last position was vice president in their Commercial Banking Services organization. His academic degrees include a bachelor of arts in economics from Brown University, an M.B.A. from Indiana University and a PhD. from the University of Wisconsin.

We are very pleased and delighted to welcome these two new faculty to our teaching ranks. You can reach professors. DeYoung and DeVaughn through the St. Thomas e-mail system.
