I was asked by Wallethub.com to give expert’s comments on the Capital One Savor Case Rewards credit card on why bonus credit card rewards for dining and entertainment are becoming increasingly more popular among Americans. This is line with my research on experiential and material gifts/consumption.

The Department of Student Life Campus Programs at the University of Akron celebrated the Senior Week virtually by having multiple social media challenges. One of them was asking the graduating seniors to shout-out their favorite faculty member(s) or staff or campus. One of my students gave me a shout-out for this challenge. It feels so rewarding to be recognized by the students outside the classroom and to know that I have impact on their experience at the University of Akron.
The News-Gazette has a special section that helps the University of Illinois celebrate turning 150 years by featuring UIUC alumni and their memories of favorite places and people while at UIUC.
Here is mine 🙂

The University of Akron asked professors to create a short video for high school students explaining various topics that we teach or do research in.
Due to my research interest in cross-cultural consumer behavior, I chose to create a video on the importance of different cultures around the world and how they affect company’s marketing strategies. The idea was to keep it short, simple, and easy for lay people to understand.
One night during the beginning of the pandemic lockdown, Pat and I were bored at home. I found an article about a chemistry professor in Cleveland teaching her students how to make Indian food virtually. So, I asked my friends if anyone wanted to learn to make Thai food and we started our virtual Thai cooking classes every Saturday nights. Because I use my University of Akron WebEx account to host this cooking class, I felt that I should invite other people on campus to participate in the event as my WebEx account can host up to 1,000 people at a time. Most people loved it and came back for the next class. It’s free to anyone but we also encourage people to donate to the Akron-Canton food bank.
The Akron Beacon Journal wrote a story about our virtual cooking classes (see the link below).
