Nicole Hunter is a clini- cal assistant professor of finance. Previously, she was an adjunct instructor for the school and for UB's Economics Department. She also taught in the School of Management's joint program with the Singapore Institute of Management. She has a PhD and an MA in economics, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in economics and mathematics—all from UB. Hunter teaches applied economics, and her research interests lie in the areas of environ- mental policy, renewable energy adoption and private equity in health care. Hunter enjoys a range of fitness activities, including boxing, CrossFit and Krav Maga, but her favorite is weight- liing. She also gets plenty of cardio and resistance training with the help of her two German shepherds. Danielle Tussing joined the faculty as an assistant professor of organization and human resources, bringing several years of teaching experience with her aer serving as an assistant professor of manage- ment in the Mendoza College of Business at the University of Notre Dame. She earned a PhD in management from the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, and a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Davidson College. She teaches organizational behavior and leadership, and her research interests include work motiva- tion, leadership, interpersonal relationships and work-life boundary management. For fun, Tussing loves to dance—tap, jazz, ballet and hip-hop. As soon as the COVID-19 situation allows, she plans to join a local dance studio. Until then, she's enjoy- ing dance parties around the house with her toddler. Hunter Tussing Suresh From left, alumna Katie L.
