Bani will begin teaching courses in the management information systems and information technology (IT) programs in mid-November.
He received his Bachelor of Business Administration from Yarmouk University in Jordan and both his Master of Management Information Systems and Master of Science Management at Friends University in Wichita, Kansas. He earned his Doctor of Philosophy in Information Technologies at Capella University in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
