Mike Casey, professor of finance, John Bratton, professor of insurance and risk management, and Sherry Roberts, assistant professor of business/marketing technology education, this week taught a seminar in real estate consumer education sponsored by the Arkansas Realtors? Association. The two-day seminar covered topics related to home ownership and was designed to educate consumers about buying a home. Seminar participants were high school teachers from around the state who used the seminar content and materials provided by the Arkansas Realtors? Association to teach their students about home ownership. This was the fourth consecutive real estate seminar funded by the Arkansas Realtors? Association.

Casey also joined Victor Puleo, assistant professor of insurance, in writing a paper accepted for presentation at the annual meeting of the International Academy of Business and Economics to be held in Las Vegas in October. The paper, “Dividend Policy Determinants in the Insurance Industry,” will be subsequently published in the Journal of Academy of Business and Economics.
