[AISWorld] Remembering our friend Professor Mike Goul

[Raghu Santanam]

Dear Colleagues:
I am incredibly sad to share the news of Mike Goul’s passing after a short battle with cancer. Mike was our associate dean of faculty and research, a professor in Information Systems, and a dear friend and mentor to many of us. His death leaves a massive void.

Mike served as chair of the Information Systems department for six years, and pioneered the business analytics curriculum in the W. P. Carey School through a new master’s degree in Business Analytics and an undergraduate major in Business Data Analytics. Each year, more than a thousand students are registered in these programs. Most of all, Mike was a passionate teacher and mentor. He reveled in helping early career scholars meet their research goals and could talk passionately and with insight on most any topic.

Mike’s obituary is online at: https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/azcentral/obituary.aspx?n=michael-goul&pid=195868362

We have created a new Michael Goul Memorial Scholarship in Business Data Analytics to continue Mike’s legacy as a passionate teacher, mentor, and thought leader in the field of Information Systems.
