By now you've seen the pictures and heard the story. Clemson University has moved into the former Bowater building on the falls of the Reedy River. But what are they doing there? What programs do they offer and to who? They have moved their entire MBA program into the space, does that mean more opportunities for business engagement? PACE, the continuing education division, is located there as well. What do they offer? Join us for the GSATC Learning Lunch on July 13 and learn how you can connect with Clemson at the Falls.

Pickett’s research has been widely published in numerous marketing/business journals, including Journal of Business Research, Journal of Services Research, Journal of Services Marketing, Services Industry Journal, Journal of Marketing Education, Journal of Advertising, European Journal of Marketing, Journal of Personal Selling and Sales Management, Sport Marketing Quarterly and Journal of Public Policy and Marketing. He has won several recognitions for his research including a “Citation of Excellence” in the European Journal of Marketing, “Best Paper of the Year” in the Journal of Personal Selling and Sales Management and a “Special Recognition for Distinguished Career Contributions” for scientific understanding of sport business awarded by the American Marketing Association Sports Marketing Special Interest Group. His current research efforts are focused on services and sport marketing issues.
