Annette Singleton Jackson

During her Fulbright term, Annette helped to create the MBA program at the University of Swaziland. She found donors for classroom renovations and a computer lab in order to facilitate future international accreditation of the program. She also served on the Senate, the MBA Committee, and several other boards and committees in order to pursue MBA program objectives. Annette was successful in adding a soft-skills course to the undergraduate curriculum and helped to reconnect the Faculty of Commerce with many industry partners and regional companies for student internships, permanent placement positions, sponsorship of programs, speaking engagements, and other symbiotic facets of public-private partnerships. 

Currently, Annette has several ongoing research projects. At the forefront is student behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. She also researches cultural dimensions and their effect on various aspects of consumer behavior.
