He didnt set out to change how business was taught at public universities, but Thaddeus Spratlen (BSBA 56, MA 57, PhD 62) transformed the way business schools deliver business education, and after nearly six decades, his pioneering work continues to influence generations of scholars, their students and underrepresented communities. To understand Thaddeus Spratlen, now 90 years old, its imperative to understand where he came from.
