Associate Professor of Marketing Kashef Majid was quoted in an advice segment for a WalletHub piece about best car insurance companies. “Get multiple quotes and then re-evaluate each year,” he said. “Insurance companies may offer a low premium to acquire a customer and then raise the premium after renewal because the consumer is already locked in and less likely to switch.

Associate Professor of Marketing Kashef Majid spoke to With Good Reason radio for its current episode, “How Hot is Your Honey?” which airs through Friday, Sept. 9.

Join us ONLINE for the next Mary Talk of the 2021-22 academic year!
We will hear from Dr. Kashef Majid, professor of marketing at Mary Washington, as he presents “Stop Wasting our Food: Food Waste and the World’s Stupidest Problem.”
Why is it that we squander one-third of all food? Households in the U.S. waste thousands of dollars each year on uneaten food “because we’ve been tricked,” Dr. Majid says. In a new course called Alleviating Food Waste, Dr. Majid helps UMW students explore the root causes of unused food and how the issue can be remedied.
Wednesday, February 2
7:30-8:30 p.m. (EDT)
