Join us as we celebrate an endowed Professorship in Supply Chain Management created to honor Dr. Chan Hahn.

This event is open to students, faculty, staff, alumni and the general public. Registration for in-person attendance is required. 

Dr. Hahn is extremely well-respected as a mentor, advisor, career coach and father figure to a generation of BGSU supply chain and procurement operations students. His accessibility, wit, good nature and generosity will never be forgotten among those fortunate enough to have known him. He still resides in Bowling Green and stays in close contact with the Schmidthorst College of Business and many of his former students.

Dr. Hahn joined the BGSU College of Business faculty in 1970 as an assistant professor in management. He came to BGSU just after earning his Ph.D. in business administration in 1970 from The Ohio State University. During his time at BGSU, Dr. Hahn served as a visiting professor at several other institutions over the years. He was also chair of the Management Department at BGSU from 1973-1986 and from 1995-2000.

During his career, Dr. Hahn was renowned as a national and international expert in his field. He was an author of over 80 publications in a variety of national and international journals, many of which he was invited to read aloud and lecture on at institutions around the country and the world. Dr. Hahn was a member of various focus committees on campus, professional organizations off campus and served in leadership positions for academic publication groups and journals.

After Dr. Hahn’s retirement in 2000, he was granted emeritus status at BGSU. Dr. Hahn continues to come to his office at the Schmidthorst College of Business several days a week to keep himself informed on business trends.
