Trevor Nguyen

Background

Trevor Nguyen is on the faculty of the Department of Management and holds a Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Before Porter, Trevor directed a small-business development center.

Trevor's research focuses on organizational behavior, with related work in operations management; undergraduates are involved in the lab most terms.

Areas of expertise

• Organizational behavior
• Operations management
• Undergraduate research and project mentoring

Teaching

Trevor regularly teaches courses in Business Administration, Leadership Studies, Entrepreneurship. Specific sections and syllabi are listed in the class schedule each term.

Courses lean on current problems from the field: students read recent work, reproduce a result or method, and then extend it. Trevor builds in low-stakes practice before graded work and gives written feedback on drafts.

Advising and office hours

Trevor advises students in the Management programs and holds weekly office hours during the fall and spring terms, posted on the office door and in the course pages. Prospective students are welcome to email to arrange a visit or a call.

Advising conversations usually cover course sequencing, whether to add a minor or a concentration, and how classroom work connects to internships, research, or graduate study. Students who are undecided are welcome; part of the job is helping them narrow things down.

Recent and representative work

Trevor's recent activity is a mix of peer-reviewed work, conference talks, and student-involved projects in organizational behavior and operations management. Representative items:

• A peer-reviewed article on organizational behavior in a disciplinary journal.
• A conference paper on operations management, co-authored with an undergraduate researcher.
• An internally funded project applying organizational behavior to a regional partner's problem.

Titles and venues here are illustrative. UW–Porter Falls is fictional; Trevor has no real publication record.

Prospective students and families can ask the Management department office to set up a call, a class visit, or a meeting during an admitted-student day.
