Foster School of Business at the University of Washington) Thaddeus Spratlen (BSBA ’56, MA ’57, PhD ’62) earned all three degrees from The Ohio State University. He held faculty appointments at what was then Western Washington State College and UCLA Anderson School of Management before joining Foster in 1972. Spratlen was the first African American professor at Foster. Spratlen has published more than 80 research studies on retail management and strategy, social issues in business, government regulation, public policy in advertising tobacco and other harmful products, and marketing and urban enterprise development. The latter led to the establishment of the Consulting and Business Development Center (CBDC) at Foster, where Spratlen served as founding faculty director. CBDC efforts have resulted in more than $100 million in new revenue and more than 100,000 jobs created and retained by small and minority owned businesses across Washington. William Bradford (professor of business and economic development and of finance and business economics @Michael G. Foster School of Business at the University of Washington) William Bradford graduated from Howard University in 1967 before attending The Ohio State University where he was one of only two Black students in the MBA program, and earned his PhD in finance. Bradford served as the associate professor of finance at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business and was a visiting economist for the Federal Home Loan Bank board. He has been a visiting professor of finance and economics at Yale University’s School of Management and was a visiting professor of finance for New York University, UCLA and Ohio State. Bradford was acting dean of the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland before being named dean and professor at the Michael G. Foster School of Business at the University of Washington (Foster), where he was awarded the dean emeritus honor. Bradford is currently a professor of business and economic development and a professor of finance and business economics at Foster.
