Ngo Awarded Stansell Fellowship
COB Dean Stan Eakins presents award to Ngo
Dr. Thanh Ngo, Associate Professor in the Department of Finance, has been named this year’s recipient of the Stansell Faculty Research Award, an honor that supports faculty research and is named in memory of Dr. Stanley Roger “Buddy” Stansell. Stansell was a beloved finance professor at ECU. He retired in 2005 after a 17-year career as the Robert Dillard Teer Jr. Distinguished Professor of Business, and stayed involved with many of his students until he died on April 15, 2014. His family created an endowment in his memory in 2014, and both family and friends have made contributions. The Stansell Fellowship is funded by those gifts, with a new award recipient chosen each year. Ngo is the third recipient of this honor.
Ngo’s research focuses mostly on firm restructuring activities. She has published 45 articles in peer reviewed journals. Ngo also recently earned the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) credential, which is granted by the CFA Institute to financial and investment professionals who have passed all three levels of examinations and met other professional criteria. It is considered the most respected and recognized investment management designation in the world.
