Dr. Roy Dejoie, Clinical Associate Professor of Management, Krannert School of Management, teaches many courses in various formats (face-to-face, online, and study abroad) at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Dejoie is recognized nationally by his peers, along with Dr. Hal Kirkwood, Oxford University, for his work in interweaving life lessons into an introductory computer and management course, which he has taught since 2016. A paper written from this teaching experience, Life Lessons Using Technology: Helping (Underrepresented Minority) Freshmen Get Ahead Before They Have Even Started,” earned finalist status in the Instructional Innovation Award Competition at the Decision Sciences Institute 39th Annual National Meeting. Dejoie and Kirkwood collaborated on several projects, including being awarded a Partnering for Information Literacy Initiative Grant by the Purdue Libraries. Many elements of this work continue to be used throughout Purdue as information literacy activities in the common core.

He has also paired with Kirkwood to produce an Instructional Innovation Award finalist entry and an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed publication based on their information literacy work in the classroom with Purdue Business Opportunity Program students. He served as a textbook contributor/author for at least six books (including best-selling textbooks by Drs. George Fowler and Ralph Stair) and his own most recent book, Business and Information Technology, released in Spring. He also served as a reviewer and subject matter expert nationally for numerous textbooks and peer-reviewed publications, extending his impact beyond Purdue.

Dejoie is highly invested in the development of the next generation of classroom teachers. Since Fall 2005, he has served as an instructional mentor in Krannert for its Ph.D. student instructors. He delivers an annual teaching and instruction workshop to all Management Information Systems (MIS) Ph.D. students and offers extensive one-on-one training and preparation to each MIS Ph.D. student that will teach a core undergraduate course. Numerous MIS Ph.D. students that Dejoie has mentored have won one or more Krannert teaching awards for their performance in the classroom. Overall, Dejoie’s development of these Ph.D. students extends his teaching excellence, impact, and expertise to more learners that what he would be capable of doing himself.

Dejoie also provides guidance as a facilitator to future instructors in Graduate Teaching Assistant orientations and serves as the new faculty mentor for junior faculty members to help prepare them to enter into their teaching duties. He is sought by other functional areas in Krannert to serve as a mentor to other faculty members in their teaching endeavors.

Dejoie is a Krannert Dean’s Fellow for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, has served as a faculty representative on the DRC Advisory Committee, and is a member of the Provost’s Faculty Advisory Committee on Diversity and Inclusion. He has also been awarded the Purdue University Class of 1922 Award for Outstanding Innovation in Helping Students Learn and Krannert Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching Award.

The following table maps Dr. Dejoie’s teaching excellence evidence to evaluation activities.
