One important facet of an Olin faculty member's role is to engage in meaningful externally facing work through activities such as research, educational consulting, entrepreneurship, technical consulting, authoring textbooks and other creative work. Our externally facing work is valued for the impact it has on outside stakeholders such as research communities, companies, other universities, the general public and others.
