The BB&T Professorship for the Study of Capitalism

The BB&T Professorship for the Study of Capitalism was established by a $250,000 contribution from the
BB&T Charitable Foundation, based in Winston-Salem, N.C. The first contribution was made in April of 2006, and the professorship began in the fall 2006 semester.

Dr. Michelle Vachris, the BB&T Professor for 2006-07, has begun several initiatives to meet the responsibilities of the professorship. In fall 2006, she taught a new course: Economics in American Literature, which she also taught in the spring. Another new course: Capitalism, American Style will be offered in fall 2007.

"These are lessons I've been teaching for 12 years, but now I can focus on these issues more and teach specific courses rather than just trying to work them into existing courses," said Dr. Vachris, associate professor of economics who came to CNU in fall 1994 after 10 years as an economist for the U.S. Department of Labor.
