Chair, Business
Associate Professor of Economics and Business Administration
Since joining the business administration department in 2007, Eric Malm, PhD, has blended the classroom and the community. Through his courses, his students work with community organizations including the Norristown Arts Festival and Entrepreneur Works in order to see the application and importance behind the subjects they study.
As an educator, Malm feels his primary responsibility is to help students comprehend the subject matter so they can grasp concepts and theories and apply them to real-life situations.
He also has published and presented work on engagement scholarship in journals and at national conferences. Engagement scholarship is a model whereby the College engages in partnership with the community, and projects and ideas come from the community instead of from the College.
Malm earned a doctoral degree in economics with a focus on environmental economics and econometrics from Temple University, and a bachelor’s in economics and business with a minor in English from Lafayette College.
Malm is a board member of the Norristown Arts Council, marketing chair of the Norristown Arts Festival, and member of Norristown Friends Meeting.
