Award-winning research publisher and prolific scholar David A. Griffith has joined Mays Business School as its new Marketing Department Head. From Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, he was inaugurated as the Hallie Vanderhider Chair in Business and named the recipient of this year's Hans B. Thorelli Award by the American Marketing Association.
"In terms of choosing to come to A&M, there were many draws," said Griffith. "The outstanding faculty in Mays, Dean Jones' vision and passion for A&M, former colleagues who have joined Mays and love it here. The core values of the institution were also a big draw for me, and of course the outstanding reputation of Texas A&M in both academics and athletics." …Read more

Executive Associate Dean Duane Ireland, a long-time colleague of Hitt's, said Hitt has positively touched thousands of students' lives while teaching at all levels - undergraduates, master's, doctorate, and executive. "Mike has truly ‘done so much for so many,'" Ireland said.
Amid the promotions and accolades that Jones has received during his academic career, the Mays marketing professor and former Dean of Mays Business School ultimately sees himself as an educator. "What inspires and motivates me is watching leaders grow," Jones said. "I love developing leaders, and I love the fact that we are all in on transformational leadership because we get the chance to watch students develop. They go on to be very successful; the cream rises to the top."
Among the first generation in his family to attend college, Jones initially worked in sales and sales management for three Fortune 500 global companies before moving into higher education. He held faculty and administrative roles at the University of Houston before serving as dean at Louisiana State University's E.J. Ourso College of Business and at the University of Arkansas's Sam M. Walton College of Business.
Yet, throughout these experiences, Texas A&M and Mays Business School remained home. He returned to Texas A&M to become Mays Business School's dean in 2015. "When I think about Texas A&M, I think about the people-it's the people that we hire, it's the people who are impacting our lives," he said. "When I would leave Mays Business School to go off and do something else and then come back-and I did that several times-every time I came back, I reconnected with those folks who actually touched my life in a dramatic way. Now it's my opportunity to give back to them and recognize them, and that part is really special."
In the role of dean, he oversaw the launching of a campaign to fund the BEC and collaborated with others to help Mays reach 147% of its Lead by Example campaign goal. He also led efforts to develop Mays' strategic plan in 2016, which still influences the school today. Jones expanded Mays' media and communications capacity, and also facilitated the establishment of several centers.
The Peggy Mays Eminent Scholar's work as a leading academic also has received widespread recognition. Jones' research in sales and sales management has been published in top academic journals, and he has written several published books. Jones also has received numerous Excellence in Teaching awards at the university, national and international levels for his work teaching undergraduate, MBA, and executive education students.
He has been recognized as the 2009 Outstanding Doctoral Alumnus by Mays' Department of Marketing and the 2016 Lifetime Achievement Award by the American Marketing Association (AMA) Sales Special Interest Group. Jones was inducted into the Ph.D. Project Hall of Fame and recognized as a "Most Influential Black Corporate Director" by Savoy magazine in 2021. That same year, the Association of Former Students' Black Former Students honored Jones with the Aggie Impact Award. In 2022, Jones received the AMA-Irwin-McGraw-Hill Distinguished Marketing Educator Award and the Academy of Marketing Science (AMS) CUTCO/Vector Distinguished Marketing Educator Award.
Jones and his wife, Fern, have four children and 10 grandchildren. He also currently serves on the boards of Insperity, Invesco Funds, and First Financial Bank.
The former dean encourages everyone he meets-and especially the students he interacts with-to embrace faith. "When I look back at the incredible things that have happened to myself and my family, faith has always been embedded in that," he said. "When I started believing in a higher power, I started building the confidence to do some things out of my comfort zone. But I had to have a foundation, and that became the foundation."

Dr. Murray Barrick is the 2022 recipient of Mays Business School's Lifetime Achievement Award for Research and Scholarship. The award will be presented April 20, 2022 during a special presentation.
The honor, which is one of Mays' most prestigious awards, recognizes a faculty member who has made a substantial contribution to academic and industry knowledge. "Dr. Barrick is a prolific scholar who is recognized as one of the world's leading experts with respect to employee selection processes used in organizations. His research has had a significant influence on helping companies use more evidence-based selection processes," said Mays Interim Dean R. Duane Ireland. "Dr. Barrick is also an excellent mentor for his students. There is a large group of masters and doctoral students who can attest to the value of the guidance and counsel they received from him."
Barrick considers this honor to be one of the highlights of his career. "Being nominated for this award is amazing. While I've won two lifetime achievement awards in two academic societies, this is the most meaningful to me," said the Department of Management faculty member, who will be retiring at the end of the 2022 Spring semester. "It's a great way to reflect back on what I've accomplished throughout my career and what it's meant."
Barrick holds a bachelor's degree in business management and psychology from the University of Northern Iowa. He enrolled at the University of Akron, earning both his master's and doctoral degrees in industrial/organizational psychology.
His faculty career started at the University of Iowa, where he had a decade-long appointment before joining Michigan State University's Broad Graduate School of Management for two years. Barrick returned to the University of Iowa's Tippie College of Business as the Stanley M. Howe Professor of Leadership in 2001.
In 2006, Barrick was recruited to Mays Business School and named the Paul M. and Rosalie Robertson Chair in Business. Within the first two years, he found himself becoming more impressed with Mays' academic quality and influence. "I was astonished at the number of scholars in the field who had started their careers at Texas A&M and earned their PhDs here or had started as assistant professors here," he said. "We have a long history of excellent selection. It just reinforced that I hadn't made a mistake."
In 2007, he was named head of the Department of Management and served in that role until 2011. "The Department of Management has a long history of excellent scholarship and has been a vibrant learning community for years," he said. "We have had among the most influential scholars in the field working here."
The department continued to flourish through Barrick's leadership. Four months after his term as department head ended, Texas A&M leaders evaluated the university's academic performance. That analysis found that the Department of Management was the university's top-ranked department (out of 93) and was in the top 5 for research productivity of management faculty based on a comparison of peer and aspirant universities.
Barrick's substantial body of work continues to contribute to the department's prestige. His teaching and research have focused on the strategic utilization of human resources, the development of effective selection systems, the impact of behavior and personality on job performance, motivation to effectively manage work, and executive teams. Barrick's work-which, according to Google Scholar, has been cited over 49,000 times as of March 2022-has been published in the Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Applied Psychology, Personnel Psychology, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, and other journals or as chapters in Handbooks.
In 2011, Barrick assumed the role of director and then executive director of the Center for Human Resource Management (CHRM). In those roles, he helped the center expand its well-respected offerings and services through hiring exceptional staff members. This set the stage for CHRM to better serve its clients, many of which are Fortune 100 companies and five of which are Fortune 10 companies.
Barrick also has offered significant contributions to the field. He served on the Editorial Boards of the Academy of Management Journal, Journal of Applied Psychology and Personnel Psychology. Additionally, he was Chair of the HR Division for the Academy of Management Program, Volume Editor for "Personality and Work: Reconsidering the role of personality in organizations," and Associate Editor of Personnel Psychology.

Garner's love of Texas A&M was sparked while watching his first Aggie Muster on the banks of the Rio Grande River. "Watching the emotions and the profound reactions of my dad and other Aggies talking about their classmates and friends from A&M is what first motivated me and inspired me to say to myself-even at a young age-I want to be part of that," he said.
He enrolled at Texas A&M and earned a bachelor's degree in marketing before joining Hughes Tool Company. Two years later, he returned to Texas A&M as Field Director for The Association of Former Students and began to build an illustrious career.
Yet, one of his crowning achievements at The Association-being unanimously elected as chief executive, making him the seventh professional leader in The Association's 143-year history-was preceded by the fall of Bonfire in 1999. "Those were indelible moments in my career because I saw the Aggie Spirit at its finest moment," he said. "I saw the Aggie Network rally and support fellow Aggies, most of whom they never met and didn't know. But all that mattered was they were Texas Aggies-and that began to shape my early CEO years because I thought differently than perhaps I had before November 18."
During his 22-year tenure as the Association's president and CEO, Garner has helped the organization grow into the premier alumni organization through enhancing its programs and services and broadening its reach and relevance to the global Aggie Network. Additionally, The Association of Former Students' total assets have grown from $55 million to $190 million under Garner's leadership. The organization also has raised over $400 million to support Texas A&M and individual Aggies during his tenure as CEO.
What continues at the forefront is the importance of Aggie Traditions. "There's an old adage that the longer I live, the more I see both in my personal life and in my professional life-The more things change, the more they stay the same," Garner said. "And I've seen it come full circle at Texas A&M with traditions and experiences. And while we are on the cutting edge on so many fronts at Texas A&M, we're still doing things that are traditional, that are desired, and that are meaningful. I think it speaks to the value of tradition and why those many traditions are important to who we are as Texas Aggies."
An active member of the Bryan/College Station community, Garner serves on the board of Baylor Scott & White Hospital-College Station Region and has a lifetime membership in the Brazos County A&M Club. Garner and his wife, Lisa '91, are Endowed Century Club donors to the Association of Former Students, Eppright Distinguished Donors, and members of the Texas A&M Legacy Society. They also have three children, Claire '21, Callie '23, and Porter IV '26.

Richard Castleberry joined Mays Business School in early January 2019 as Program Director for the Full-Time MBA and MS Business programs. He brings a breadth of experience and seemingly boundless energy.
He explained his philosophy for doing his job. "Everything is about relationships, both external and internal, whether it's a CEO or the person vacuuming my office. I bring my advice, experience, and background into play, and I hope to plug it into the well-oiled machine that is already in place here."
Castleberry said he looks forward to meeting faculty, staff, and external partners, but most importantly, he wants to get to know the students. "I like to get the class schedules and just pop in to see what's going on," he said.
Most recently, Castleberry served as the university-wide head of business development for academic programs for Nazarbayev University (NU) in Astana, Kazakhstan. Prior to this, he served as the Director of Business Development and Assistant Dean of Marketing and Communications for NU's graduate business school. As a member of the leadership team, he was instrumental in the founding of NU's business school and worked very closely with its strategic partner - Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. He led recruiting efforts for all master's and Ph.D. programs. He also cultivated the university's corporate partnerships across the world and has also taught many business courses at various institutions.
Castleberry earned an MBA degree from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, Calif., with a concentration in marketing. He received a bachelor's degree with a concentration in international business and marketing from Northeastern University in Boston.
