Kiara Garcia, a senior majoring in International Business, is conducting qualitative research to examine how the shift from conspicuous to inconspicuous has influenced social media users’ perceptions across platforms in the context of quiet luxury.

Nitya Joshi, a senior majoring in International Business (minor in Mathematics), is using regression analysis to examine the impact of ESG performance on company growth across emerging and non-emerging markets. His study analyses the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of stock prices from 2021 to 2025 and revenues from 2021 to 2024, respectively, exploring how market classification moderates the relationship between ESG scores and financial performance.

Colin Kariuki, a senior majoring in Digital Marketing, is conducting content analysis of social media, i.e., social media posts, captions, hashtags, and engagement styles of 15 local companies and 15 international companies based in Kenya.

Lauryn Kariuki, a senior majoring in International Business, is conducting quantitative research to evaluate how consumer preferences differ between fast fashion and luxury brands based on price perception, sustainability concerns, and brand loyalty.
