Adjunct Faculty at Amherst
Dr. Richard Dulski: I’ve taught at the Amherst Campus since 1999, focusing on the MBA marketing, strategic planning, global business and capstone courses. My role as a Senior Adjunct is to serve on the ALP Council, which oversees both curriculum development and academic program evaluation. When I can find some spare time, I enjoy model railroading in N and G Scales with several local and national clubs.
Bob La Marco: An Amherst instructor of management, leadership and ethics, I make my home in Williamsville where I reside with a 12-year-old fashionista, her cat Micki Sixx, and 2 Chinese dwarf hamsters. My assignment, Peer Review and Assessment, aspires to ensure that along with the wealth of experience our practitioner faculty bring to the classroom, appropriate and pedagogical methods are employed to effectively promote student achievement and positive course outcomes.
Brian Webster: I live in Amherst with Mrs. W, an IT person with whom I have discussions on whether economics or technology is more interesting, work in the exciting, frightening automotive industry, and enjoy biking in our two months of WNY summer. My teaching mission is to reveal how economic principles shape our decisions as consumers and businesspersons and how we may use those principles to improve our lives, our businesses and, I hope, our society.
Tim Widjaja: Yeah, I ‘m the only instructor who is a die-hard video gamer who loves to teach leadership, management, global business and of course, statistics, the most beloved course in the BBA and MBA programs. My current role as senior adjunct is helping Medaille College with a new initiative, the Medaille Center for Leadership and Change, which will provide services and workshops to professionals, organizations, and communities in the area of leadership and change management.
