Davisville, July 27, 2026: Where business and academia cross paths in Davis

Mon, 07/27/2026 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Tim Akin in KDRT studio 072526.jpeg

Tim Akin spent 26 years at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management, which gave him a large window on the business world. He retired as the school’s executive director of marking and communications in June, and today on Davisville we talk about what he has seen and learned over the years. The topics include whether he thinks business is ready to manage AI, what the school brings to the different worlds of business and academia, and the value of business education that includes other areas of study, and doesn’t just focus on itself.

The photo shows Tim, with a few items he once kept on his desk at UC Davis, in KDRT’s studio on July 25.
