Professor Michael R Fricke
Teaching Assistant Professor
Department of Business Administration

A little bit about me. I don't know what you want to know about me.

My title here is,

I'm a Teaching Assistant Professor in

the Department of Business Administration and

the Gies College of Business at the University of Illinois,

which is a mouthful really.

That's hard to fit on a business card. What does that mean?

It means I teach courses in the fields of Business Law and Business Ethics.

I teach our core undergrad Business Law class

that all College of Business undergrads have to take.

I teach a couple of Business Ethics classes.

I teach a really cool class where I

coached a team of students to go to Business Ethics case competitions around the country.

I teach an MBA ethics class.

I teach this class,

which is basically Business Law for people who are going into

accounting focused on the legal topics in the CPA exam.

So I teach a lot of things around here.

I'm also the Director of Undergraduate Studies

in the Department of Business Administration,

which means if there's an undergrad issue from one of our seven majors,

my committee and I deal with it.

So that's what I do here. But how did I get here?

I'm originally from Austin, Texas.

You might not notice from the accent, I never got one,

but I grew up in Austin and I have

a deep and abiding love for all things Austin: barbecue,

tacos, not the longhorns.

But everything else from Austin, I love.

And I came up here to the University of Illinois actually for college.

I studied Engineering and Philosophy here as an undergrad

and moved away for

a few years after college and then came back. I went to law school here.

I got my MBA from

Gies College of Business long before it was the Gies College of Business,

it was just the College of Business at that time.

But I got my MBA here, my law degree here.

And then I went and practiced law for about six and a half years,

mostly in the field of Corporate and Commercial Law.

Hey, that's this class.

And also a lot of real estate work,

a little bit of litigation, but I tried to steer away from that.

And then after about six and a half years of practicing law,

opportunity came up for me to come back here to

my alma mater and teach and I jumped at it,

and I've been here for four years now, and I absolutely love it.

I love working with students, undergrads, grads, in-person,

online, you name it, I really really,

really enjoy working with students.

So I'm looking forward to working with all of you over this course.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions,

concerns, comments or you just want to talk.
