GW’s faculty of 120 full-time professors, and approximately 60 distinguished practitioners from the Washington community, together hail from 74 different countries, bringing a wealth of experience, in research, and in practice, to our students. Open the Wall Street Journal or the Financial Times, or tune into The Nightly Business Report, and you are likely to read or hear the vanguard views of our renowned faculty. Professors such as – Tim Fort, on ethics and corporate responsibility; Refik Soyer, a fellow of the American Statistical Association, on Bayesian Decision Making; Lisa Delpy Neirotti, on the sports industry; Richard Green, on real estate, Mark Starik, on climate change, and Dean Susan M. Phillips, former governor of the Federal Reserve, on finance and world markets – engage in a global dialogue on critical business issues. The partnerships and real-world projects our faculty forge in this city and beyond – from developing waterfront real estate to observing the business side of the Olympics in Beijing – guarantee our students will learn outside, as well as inside, the classroom.
