Get lost in numbers with Brad Goldie, a new assistant
professor in the finance area at the University of Kansas School of Business , from
Pennsylvania State University.
“I embrace my true inner math nerd,” Goldie said, “but
that’s why my wife says she married me.”
Goldie previously worked as a teaching assistant at Bringham
Young University while working on his bachelor’s degree. He received his
doctorate degree from Pennsylvania State University where he also taught
classes.
When he did the math, Goldie knew KU was the best fit for
him.
“I really considered options at other universities, but the
more I thought about my experiences visiting the various campuses, I realized
the faculty here were people I wanted to work with,” Goldie said.
He is currently working on a study for hedge fund
investments in merger deals. He studies how the relationships between financial
institutions affect their investment behavior.
For his first semester as a professor, Goldie teaches
Investments (FIN 410) to undergraduate students.
What he’s most excited
about as a Jayhawk: “Allen Fieldhouse. I’ve heard so much about the
atmosphere that I want to see it for myself.”
