Accounting
Professor Christian Schaupp teamed up with WSU Carson College of Business researchers on a national survey that demonstrates where voters get their information affects trust in voting methods and election results. They surveyed 680 people in the U.S. to study how partisan and non-credible affects trust in the election process, believability of election results and if the method in which people vote affects whether they believe their vote will be counted. Key findings included insights that voters, regardless of political affiliation, trust in-person voting more than mail-in voting, and people who vote in-person tend to have higher overall trust their will be counted. This was consistent among both conservative and liberal voters. The team plans to author a paper on the study for publication.Business Law

Fourteen state colleges and universities will be represented in the 2020- 2021 West Virginia Statewide Collegiate Business Plan Competition semifinals, with a total of 24 teams moving onto the next stage of the competition from 14 West Virginia schools and colleges. Based on the vote from the BPC Oversight Committee last year, the top 15 scores from each category were moved onto the semifinals and the additional teams were the top scores from institutions that were not represented. The goal of this was to be more inclusive and provide better representation from across the state.
