Nancy J. Merritt
Nancy J. Merritt,
previously senior associate dean of the College of Business Administration at Bowling Green State University, has been selected to head the College of Business at Indiana State University.
She will assume her new duties Aug. 1,

A professor of marketing at Bowling Green since
1988, Merritt served as interim dean of its College of Business Administration in 2005-06.
“It is indeed a privilege to join Indiana State University and the Terre Haute and regional communities,” Merritt said. “The achievements of the faculty, staff, and students of the College of Business bode well for enhancing its contributions to the university and broader communities, as well as advancing the economic development of the region.
I am excited about opportunities to engage in productive relationships with business and alumni, to focus on quality and reach of student and community programs, and to support faculty in their teaching and scholarship."
Merritt has experience in college development and fundraising, and strategic and operational planning. She developed executive, entrepreneurship, and business engagement programs, including a Center for Executive Studies and a Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership. She also worked with university development and corporate officers in formulating the Cooper Tire Teaching Mentorship.
A former retail business co-owner and manager, Merritt holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Montana State University and a Ph.D. from the University of Arizona. She is a member of the Academy of Marketing Science and the U.S. Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship.
