of the Franklin Center for Innovation, a non-profit community organization and business incubator. He has served as Vice-Chair of the Faculty Senate's Curriculum Committee, Co-Advisor of the KSU Innovators Inc. Business Student Club, Faculty Senator (At-Large) Representative for the School of Business and Technology, and as a member of numerous Faculty Senate committee at Kentucky State University. The amount of service work that Dr. Banerjee has performed throughout his academic career is significant and impressive.

In summary, I give Dr. Banerjee my highest recommendation for tenure and promotion from the rank of Associate Professor to the rank of Full Professor in the School of Business at Kentucky State University. He has excelled in the areas of teaching, research, and service. He deeply cares about his students, Kentucky State University, and our academic school/college. He is a wonderful colleague who is deeply respected as a person and a academician. Therefore, it is with great pleasure to write this letter of support on his behalf.

Sincerely

Stevie Watson
