Ritch L. Sorenson, Ph.D., holds the Opus Chair in Family Enterprise at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business’ Schulze School of Entrepreneurship, a role that involves integrating family business concepts into the broader business school vision, serving as a family enterprise ambassador in the larger business community and teaching graduate and undergraduate courses.
