As a Louis O. Kelso Fellow, Dr. Van Doel attended the 2018 Beyster Symposium.  The purpose of the annual symposium is to study broad-based forms of financial participation in capital ownership and capital income, such as broad-based employee stock ownership, equity compensation, profit-sharing, gain sharing, and worker cooperatives in the corporation and the society of the United States from an interdisciplinary perspective.
