At the 2010 UT Chancellor's Honors, Dan Flint was awarded the Proffitt’s Associate Professor of Marketing. In the past three years,
his research has focused on the emerging field of shopper marketing, in which he is quickly becoming a leader. His creative efforts have resulted in the 2009 launching of UT’s Shopper Marketing Forum,
which explores contemporary shopper marketing strategies and
shares that knowledge with students at all levels. The forum has
