Holsapple, Computer Science alumnus and former Purdue University professor of Management, will be inducted as a Fellow of the Decision Sciences Institute (DSI) at the organization’s 2010 Annual Meeting in San Diego later this year.

Fellows of the Institute are determined by a committee of peers and the DSI Board of Directors as persons having made exceptional career contributions to the decision sciences disciplines in terms of their research, scholarship, teaching, and service accomplishments. Selection as a DSI Fellow is the highest honor the institute bestows on scholars in the decision sciences.

Dr. Holsapple earned a BS in Mathematics with Honors and Phi Beta Kappa from Purdue University, a MS in Computer Science from Purdue, and a PhD from Purdue's Krannert Graduate School of Management. Dr. Holsapple currently serves as Rosenthal Endowed Chair in Management Information Systems, Professor and Area Coordinator for Decision Science and Information Systems and Director of Graduate Studies at University of Kentucky Gatton College of Business and Economics.
