Two Ball State faculty members have been elevated to the rank of distinguished professor, an honor only few educators receive.
Jeffrey Hornsby, a nationally renowned human resources and entrepreneurship expert, has been named the George and Francis Ball Distinguished Professor of Management.
Scott Trappe, a nationally leading researcher in the field of muscle physiology, was designated the John and Janice Fisher Professor of Exercise Science.
Hornsby, who has worked at Ball State for 18 years, conducts research on small business management, corporate entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial motivation and ethics. He has published more than 100 articles and also coauthored two books.
Trappe, who has directed Ball State's Human Performance Laboratory since 2002, is currently leading research on the effects of aging on muscles through a $1.4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health. He is also researching how prolonged space flight affects human skeletal muscles through a $1.2 million grant from NASA.
Only 14 Ball State faculty members have received this recognition for their dedication to and excellence in academic work.
