COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
DANA CHAIR/SCHOLAR PROGRAM

The University of Findlay College of Business Dana Chair/Scholar Program provides an opportunity for business students to connect to higher education with the real world of business. 

A 1991 donation from the Dana Corporation established the Dana Chair to utilize the ”Executive-in-Residence” concept on campus.  The program officially started in 1995 with the original intent that each academic year’s Dana Chair would provide leadership in bonding education and business. 

The Dana Chair serves as a team builder and provides leadership in the undergraduate business program.  Dana Scholars are chosen by the College of Business faculty and, as such, are recognized as outstanding students in the College of Business for their academic and leadership skills.
