Professional Biography
Cory Thompson is an instructor in the Personal Financial Planning department at Kansas State University. In this position, he teaches Introduction to Personal Financial Planning, Retirement Planning, Financial Counseling and Communication, and Personal Risk Management and Insurance Planning. He also serves on the undergraduate committee and is the FPA Student Chapter Faculty Advisor.
His research interest originates from his oil and gas industry experience, which led to his interest in large windfalls from oil and gas lease bonus money. Additionally, his desire to help people effectively utilize large amounts of money led to research interests in inheritance and bequest behaviors, behavioral finance, self-control, and retirement planning.
He is finishing his Ph.D. at Texas Tech University, which he plans to complete in 2024.
