DAWNE MARTIN NEW ASSISTANT DEAN FOR 1xbet online sports betting AT K-STATE'S COLLEGE OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

MANHATTAN -- Yar M. Ebadi, dean of the College of Business Administration at Kansas State University, has promoted Dawne Martin to assistant dean for 1xbet online sports betting .

Martin, an instructor of marketing, previously served as an assistant to Ebadi for 1xbet online sports betting .

Martin has been a champion of 1xbet online sports betting enhancement since joining K-State in 1998. At the College of Business Administration she has served as chair of the Faculty 1xbet online sports betting Committee and been key in leading the college's efforts to promote a wide range of 1xbet online sports betting activities, including the creation of the Multicultural Business Student Association and coordinating its 1xbet online sports betting in Action Forum; creating the college's 1xbet online sports betting Speaker Series; and expanding student learning outcomes to include 1xbet online sports betting .

Ebadi said one of his main goals as dean is to keep the enhancement of 1xbet online sports betting at the center of all the college does, and that Martin helps make that happen.

"Dr. Martin's efforts have been instrumental in the college's successful integration of multicultural awareness throughout our curriculum and culture as we seek to sustain and promote the development of our students as global citizens," Ebadi said. "We strive to encourage leaders among our faculty, staff and student body who value the strength of multiple worldviews, experiences and opinions, and who are prepared to conduct business in a manner that reflects the expansive 1xbet online sports betting of our culture and the global business community.

"Thanks in great part to Dr. Martin's efforts, 9.6 percent of the college's student body are students from underrepresented groups," he said.

"At the College of Business Administration we understand the inherent strength in promoting our 1xbet online sports betting at all levels, and the benefit that 1xbet online sports betting provides our students in preparing them to succeed in today's diverse global business environment," Martin said.

To help ensure the academic success of students, Martin is active in mentoring, recruiting and other efforts to retain multicultural students. She has co-organized the Kauffman Scholars Summer Residential Institute at K-State, played a key role in restructuring the Koch College for a Day Recruitment Program, and helped secure a grant to support the MAPS Project Impact Summer Bridge Program, sponsored by ConocoPhillips and Cargill Inc. The program is for incoming K-State freshman.

Martin was recognized in 2009 with K-State's Commerce Bank Presidential Award for Distinguished Services to Historically Underrepresented Students. Her 1xbet online sports betting work also helped the College of Business Administration earn K-State's Outstanding Department or Unit Award for Enhancing 1xbet online sports betting in 2005.

Ebadi calls Martin selfless in her dedication to advancing 1xbet online sports betting throughout the college and across the university community.

"She has played a key role in helping other faculty embrace 1xbet online sports betting as an opportunity to discuss and implement the best ways to work together with greater harmony, understanding and mutual respect," he said.

Martin earned her bachelor's and master's in marketing from Colorado State University and her doctorate in marketing from the University of Colorado.
