Home / People / Vincent White Vincent White Instructor of Management Science Three Questions Get to know Vincent beyond the job title. Describe your job: I teach a wide range of interdisciplinary undergraduate courses in the Godbold College of Business including management science, operations management, international business and leadership. My goal is to provide real world context to classroom theory to prepare students for successful careers. 1. What is one project, initiative, or aspect of your work that excites you right now? I’m especially excited about developing and teaching BADM 325: Business Communications Applications. This fall will be my first time teaching the class. Coming from a career spent mostly in the corporate world, I realize how important quality communications are to business success and have developed some engaging lesson plans I feel the students will find meaningful and fun. 2. What’s something your Gardner-Webb colleagues might be surprised to learn about you? I’m an instrument-rated private pilot and have owned my own airplane. I first soloed when I was 17 and finished up my license after graduating college. I joined a local flying club after earning my private pilot license then completed my instrument rating to allow me to fly in low visibility conditions. After earning my license and instrument rating, I purchased my first airplane to build experience and generally have fun. Aviation has been a meaningful interest of mine since I was a kid, and I’m sure it always will be. 3. What does “One Webb” mean to you? To me, “One Webb” means recognizing that everyone at Gardner-Webb has an important role to play in the university’s success. We win as a team, and that requires each of us to be attentive to the needs of the people around us and willing to support one another. I also believe that “One Webb” means small interactions have a big impact. Something as simple as greeting a student with a “good morning” can make a difference in that student’s experience and sense of belonging. When we all recognize that our individual contributions, both large and small, matter and work together toward a common purpose, we truly become “One Webb.”
