Management Prof Participates in International Research Summit
October 04, 2024
Dr. Satvir Singh of the Angelo State management faculty recently participated in a panel discussion as part of the official program for the third annual International Sikh Research Summit hosted Sept. 28-29 by the Guru Nanak Institute of Global Studies (GNI) in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada.
As part of a five-member panel, Singh discussed “Imagining Guru Nanak University in Canada.” This marks the second straight year Singh has made a presentation at the International Sikh Research Summit.
GNI was founded in 2021 by prominent leaders in the Canadian Sikh community, which is the largest outside of India. Located in Surrey, its goals include:
- To provide a world-class infrastructure and academic environment for research and teaching on Sikh philosophy, history, literature, culture and devotional music.
- To support independent applied research on topics relating to Sikhs, Sikhi and other related fields.
- To support ground-breaking research projects and student scholarships.
- To ultimately become a degree-granting institution accredited by the Province of British Columbia – Guru Nanak University in Canada.
An associate professor of management, Singh joined the ASU faculty in 2017 after teaching three years at Emporia State University in Kansas. In addition to teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, he has published more than a dozen research articles and made over 20 presentations at professional conferences. He is also a faculty sponsor for ASU’s student chapter of the Alpha Chi national honor society.
Singh holds two law degrees from Punjabi University in India, a MBA from Willamette University in Oregon, and his Ph.D. in international business from the University of Texas at El Paso.
