PULLMAN, Wash. John Cullen has been named the James D. Huber Chair in Entrepreneurial Studies in the Washington State University College of Business (CB).
He also has been named inaugural director of college Ph.D. programs. Given the increased importance of doctoral education at WSU, the college introduced the new position to focus on increasing quality, size and student placements in Ph.D. programs.
