The textbook offers free online access to a variety of business finance topics.

Additionally, she has a particular interest in the scholarship of teaching and learning in public health.
In her leadership roles, Runnerstrom has prioritized improving inclusive excellence through organizing workshops and training for faculty and staff, and student support initiatives, This work also has included the dissemination of best practices for holistic review of student applications and faculty dossiers, with an emphasis on academic and non-academic factors that are indicators of success.
