Profile

Professor Dolislager’s research focuses on developing economies and has taken him to Malawi, South Africa, and Zambia. Prior to returning to academia, Professor Dolislager spent 6 years as an investment executive, 1 year as a financial analyst/bookkeeper of a real estate broker, and a few months studying Spanish in Guatemala. These experiences add to the depth and variety of examples that he incorporates into the courses that he will teach. Professor Dolislager lives in Mechanicsburg with his wife, Elyse, and looks forward to exploring Pennsylvania. He loves sports, seeing the world and most of all his Lord Jesus Christ.
