In Honor of Dear Friends Lost...
The I-O program mourns the passing of Dr. Carnot E. Nelson and Dr. Walter R. Nord, both of whom passed earlier this year. Carnot was a member of the I-O faculty for more than 30 years, having mentored and influenced a vast number of alumni from the program. Walt was a professor emeritus at the Muma College of Business who taught many I-O students and served on their thesis/dissertation committees. These two scholars, pioneers, and most importantly, friends, will be remembered by the program for a long time to come.
