WSU President Kirk Schulz to retire in June 2025

PULLMAN, Wash. — Washington State University President Kirk Schulz announced today his plan to retire in June 2025. Schulz was hired as the university’s 11th president in 2016. A presidential search and transition process will begin later this month. The WSU Board of Regents will lead the search for a new president and work closely with President Schulz to ensure a seamless transition for WSU students, faculty, and staff.

“These last eight years as president of Washington State University have been some of the best years of my career,” said President Schulz. “I am immensely proud of what we’ve accomplished together to educate students, conduct ground-breaking research, and improve the lives of Washingtonians. I look forward to continuing this work over the next year, and I look forward to supporting the Board of Regents in their search for my successor.”

Under President Schulz’ leadership, WSU saw record-setting gains in philanthropy, notably raising $167.9 million in private gifts in fiscal year 2023. WSU received full accreditation for the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine in 2021 and launched eastern Washington’s first pediatric residency in 2023. Throughout his tenure, WSU also expanded educational and research facilities across the WSU system, including the Schweitzer Engineering Hall and plant sciences buildings in Pullman, a life sciences building in Vancouver, a new student union and an academic building in Tri-Cities, and a major health sciences remodel on the Spokane campus.

These last eight years as president of Washington State University have been some of the best years of my career. I am immensely proud of what we’ve accomplished together to educate students, conduct ground-breaking research, and improve the lives of Washingtonians.Kirk Schulz, president
Washington State University

“President Schulz made a significant impact at WSU and leaves a notable set of accomplishments. The Board of Regents are grateful for his leadership,” said Lisa Keohokalole Schauer, chair, WSU Board of Regents. “Since June 2023, President Schulz has had many conversations with the Board about his intention to retire which has allowed us to be thoughtful as we prepare and design an inclusive search process for our 12th president.”

“We have greatly valued the opportunity to collaborate with President Schulz on many of the pressing workforce issues facing employers today,” said Kris Johnson, president and CEO, Association of Washington Business. “Kirk and WSU have been important partners in our effort to strengthen the ties between higher education and Washington’s employer community, to bridge the skills gap, and to help employers connect with young people in search of work-based learning opportunities in communities throughout Washington.”

Faculty Senate Chair Eric Shelden added, “President Schulz has been a valued partner with Faculty Senate leadership. His approachability, his consistent optimism and his unflagging advocacy for Washington State University have been appreciated. I look forward to partnering with him through his transition.”

At today’s board meeting, the chair of the regents established a Presidential Search Advisory Committee (PSAC). The PSAC will work with the WSU community and a national search firm to provide the board with advice on the search process, identify potential candidates, and review applications. The full committee membership is scheduled to be selected in June. The regents are committed to building an application process that honors their commitment to transparency, inclusion, and equitable representation.

The PSAC will be led by Jenette Ramos, vice chair of the Board of Regents. Regent Ramos will be joined by Regent Enrique Cerna, Regent Lura Powell, and Regent Brett Blankenship as representatives for the Board of Regents. Information on how individuals from the WSU community can apply to serve on the PSAC is scheduled to be released next week. Applicants will be selected to reflect geographic representation for all WSU campuses, faculty, staff, students, donors, alumni, and community leaders.

While the ultimate selection of the 12th president will be made by the Board of Regents, the entire WSU community will have opportunities to engage, provide feedback, and help shape the process. A presidential search website will go live in the coming weeks and will be regularly updated as the search process makes progress.

“With forward momentum, WSU is ready to seize the opportunities that await,” said Regent Schauer. “This is a tremendous opportunity for the next WSU president to carry forward the university’s legacy of innovation. The Board of Regents is excited to work with a new president to help WSU fulfill its land-grant mission.”

Participants needed for vaccine messaging test

The Extension Collaboration on Immunization Teaching and Engagement (EXCITE) project is recruiting participants to test vaccine education messages.

As part of the study, adults aged 65 or older will be exposed to several types of messages about vaccines. They will then answer questions about their opinions toward the messages while attached to sensors that measure bodily responses, like heart rate.

Leveling the field: MSU researcher develops new, affordable detection and monitoring methods for cardiovascular disease

  1. STARKVILLE, Miss.—A Mississippi State University researcher is developing new, more affordable methods for early detection and monitoring of cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S.
  2. Amirtahà Taebi, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, is using the human body’s vibrations to develop noninvasive diagnosis methods for cardiovascular disease using smartphones and low-cost sensors with a focus on health equity in the Taebi Lab at MSU. Work in the lab is directed toward low-income populations and underrepresented minorities, those usually more affected.
  3. “One American dies from a cardiovascular disease every 34 seconds,” Taebi said. “If you place your hand on your chest, you will feel vibrations as a result of your heart pumping blood to different organs in your body. We can measure those vibrations using sensors.”
  4. The lab is studying these cardiovascular-induced vibrations to see what cardiovascular events are represented by each vibration waveform.
  5. He said that by analyzing the heart’s vibrations, his team aims to address questions regarding heart function and detect any signs of cardiovascular disease in people who may need medical attention.
  6. The ultimate goal of Taebi and his team is to reduce mortality rates, optimize medical therapy, reduce hospital stays and improve the lives of patients.
  7. In an effort to improve health equity, the lab is developing a more accessible method for cardiovascular activity monitoring through a smartphone app. Another project involves creating a low-cost heart monitor that individuals can keep at home to monitor different aspects of cardiovascular activities, including the electrical and mechanical aspects, blood oxygen levels and heart sounds.

  1. “Mississippi has the second highest mortality rate in the country from congenital heart diseases, for example,” Taebi said. “That’s why we want to create methods that are accessible, low-cost and widely available to the general public for cardiovascular monitoring, so even those in rural areas and low-income individuals can afford to use these devices to monitor their own or their loved one’s cardiovascular activity. If something is wrong, they can know as soon as possible and see a doctor to determine their next steps.”
  2. Before joining MSU in 2021, Taebi completed his postdoctoral fellowship in the biomedical engineering department at the University of California, Davis. He received a doctorate in mechanical engineering from the University of Central Florida, a master’s in biomedical engineering at Politecnico di Milano in Italy and a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering from Sharif University of Technology in Iran.

Three MSU students named Fulbright finalists

STARKVILLE, Miss.—Three Mississippi State students, all from the College of Education, are 2024 Fulbright finalists—the university’s 11th, 12th and 13th finalists in the last eight years.

Hanna Clark, a master’s student from Chelsea, Michigan, and two graduates—Jenny Baldwin of Madison, Alabama, and Valencia Epps of Starkville—are receiving Fulbright U.S. Student Program awards for the 2024-2025 academic year.

MSU President Mark E. Keenum lauded the students for this prestigious achievement.

“Mississippi State students establish a strong educational foundation, and we encourage them to learn without boundaries. They can go anywhere as they pursue their goals and work to achieve their dreams,” Keenum said. “I have every confidence these outstanding students will represent our university with great distinction as members of this elite group of scholars. I also appreciate the members of our faculty who have taught, mentored and prepared them for this wonderful experience.”

Clark, who is studying educational leadership, will be paired with a secondary school in Thailand through the Fulbright English Teaching Assistant, or ETA, program. A 2020 graduate of Central Michigan University, she previously served as an English as a Second Language teacher at the Al’iikhwa School in Israel and an intern at The Foundation for Older Persons’ Development in Thailand. The 2020-2021 Fulbright semi-finalist and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages-certified teacher is expected to graduate in May.

Baldwin, a current English as a Second Language and substitute K-12 teacher in Alabama, will be paired with a secondary school in the German state of Hesse through the ETA program. She previously taught English to German students as a counselor and leader for the Munich, Germany-based Camps for Friends and visited the Netherlands, United Kingdom and Germany on individual study-abroad trips as an undergraduate. Baldwin, a former Dean’s and President’s Scholar, graduated from MSU in 2023 with a bachelor’s degree in secondary English education and a minor in linguistics.

Epps, a Stephen D. Lee Scholar and Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society member, will partner with South Korea’s Mokpo National University and study English-Korean co-teaching in hopes of improving collaboration and occupational well-being of Korean natives and English-speaking ex-patriots from other countries. She previously served as an afterschool English teacher in South Korea through the Teach and Learn in Korea program from 2018-2020 and earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in elementary education from MSU in 2022 and 2023, respectively.

“Our continued success with the Fulbright U.S. student program really shows how MSU’s educational programs, study abroad opportunities and research endeavors truly prepare our students to engage with the Fulbright program’s core mission of building mutual understanding between nations through exchange,” said David Hoffman, director of MSU’s Office of Prestigious External Scholarships. “It is particularly exciting to see that the three selected are students from the College of Education, as they are certain to bring what they learn from their international experiences back to classrooms, students and educational institutions in Mississippi and beyond.”

From Hermes to Smuckers to the fictional Waystar Royco of HBO’s “Succession,” family businesses often choose their CEOs from the ranks of kin. But is this a good business decision? As researchers who study entrepreneurship and management, we wanted to know whether keeping leadership in the family pays off for businesses. So we reviewed 175 studies on the topic to see whether family CEOs really are the best choice for family businesses. We found that the answer is yes – sometimes.

Our analysis, which looked at nearly 40 years of research, confirmed that family CEOs tend to prioritize a noneconomic goal: keeping the business in the family. This suggests that nonfamily CEOs – leaders brought in from the wider business community, selected based on characteristics such as past performance – may be more interested in prioritizing purely economic goals, such as boosting stock prices.

We also found that companies led by family CEOs tend to have more concern with corporate social responsibility but invest less in innovation and international growth. They also have more debt on average. All of these things could have important business implications. For example, investing less in research and development could lead to worse economic outcomes.

Does that mean that family CEOs are bad for business? Not at all. When looking directly at economic outcomes, we found mixed results – some studies showed that family CEOs had positive effects, and others showed negative ones. Based on our understanding of the literature, my colleagues and I think it all depends on the goals that family companies themselves pursue.

Why it matters

While researchers don’t always agree on what counts as a family company, we define them as businesses that are governed or managed by one or more families, that pursue goals set by a dominant leadership coalition, and whose leaders want to pass the enterprise on to future generations. By any definition, family businesses are extremely common: The majority of businesses around the world are owned or operated by families.

Nearly 90% of U.S. businesses are considered family operated, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, as are about 1 in every 3 Fortune 500 companies. Some of the most famous businesses in the world are family companies, such as Nike, Dell Technologies and LVMH. The leadership decisions at these businesses have ripple effects across the entire economy.

From an individual company’s perspective, the decision to appoint a family CEO – or not – is rarely easy. On the one hand, family companies often want to stay in business – and under family control – for generations. On the other hand, they often need to satisfy investors who expect strong economic outcomes over the shorter term.

We believe that one of the most important things a family company can do is to understand its own goals and priorities. While that’s easier said than done, if a business has ill-defined goals, that can set a new CEO up for failure – whether they’re in the family or not. That’s because they’re likely to pursue strategies that the family, the company or the company’s shareholders don’t really want.

What still isn’t known

The evidence on whether family CEOs are good for family companies’ bottom line is mixed, which suggests they’re sometimes effective and sometimes not. Researchers need to study how the combination of the characteristics such as age, education, political ideology and personality operate to influence family CEO performance in their family businesses.

Our team plans to conduct more research on family CEOs and their characteristics to understand when they’re good for business – and when family companies should opt for someone from outside.

Kylie LaBelle, Sydney Maheu, Adele Taber

Three Mississippi State University students—Kylie LaBelle, Sydney Maheu and Adele Taber—spark new meaning to the phrase “girl power” as volunteer firefighters with the East Oktibbeha Volunteer Fire Department.

Maheu, a Collierville, Tennessee, native who grew up in Chicago, is a freshman business major with the hopes of eventually starting her own business. She said business and firefighting go hand in hand.

“My mom works for a company that makes rescue tools for firefighters, and I learned the company’s sales professionals must have fire experience,” she said. “When I met one of the firefighters from the station and he shared I could volunteer, I realized I could gain valuable experience for my future business career.”

Taber, who is from Johannesburg, South Africa, and grew up in Atlanta, is a senior wildlife, fisheries and aquaculture major. She wants to pursue a career in prescribed-fire land management and said firefighting has helped with professional and personal growth.

“I really am not someone who likes change. I am very organized and plan things thoroughly, but this role has helped me grow in that area because when the tone drops, you must get up and go,” she said. “This experience has caused me to value the quiet moments more and be adaptable to change. I learned uncertainty is not the end of the world and you always end up getting through it.”

Taber was introduced to the opportunity by LaBelle, a Meridian native and senior wildlife, fisheries and aquaculture major. LaBelle said she hopes to pursue a career in wildland firefighting or land management. She became a volunteer firefighter after attending MSU’s 2022 Service DAWGS Day where she volunteered to wash the firetrucks at the East Oktibbeha Volunteer Fire Station. Her love of volunteerism and the preparation the role provides for her future compelled her to join, she said.

“I hadn’t seen a lot of women represented in firefighting, so I did not realize it was an option for me until I spoke with some of the firefighters. Everyone at the station was extremely encouraging and said this as something I was absolutely capable of, so I did it,” LaBelle said.

One local citizen is thanking their lucky stars that LaBelle rose to the challenge. During a mid-January call, LaBelle and two other firefighters resuscitated an individual who survived after 10 minutes with no heartbeat. She and some of her colleagues were recognized for their heroism with the Oktibbeha County Fire Service Citizen Life Saving Award earlier this year.

 “Getting recognized for my heroism is great, but the only recognition I needed was giving that citizen a second shot at life,” she said. “It’s absolutely humbling, and I am very thankful to all the people who have helped me become the firefighter that I am today because it wasn’t just me, it was everyone who has helped me along the way that also deserves recognition.”
