Biography

Dr. Pamala J. Dillon is an Assistant Professor of Management at the Palumbo-Donahue School of Business. She has taught Organizational Behavior, Human Resources Management, Strategic Management and Introduction to Management, as well as Managing Public Affairs.

Through her 15 years of experience in non-profit management, as well as her involvement in the specialty coffee industry, she became interested in understanding how organizational members and leaders make sense of social responsibility.
