Paul Binnicker, MBA

Paul Binnicker, MBA, is the Director of the Center for Graduate and Continuing Studies (CGCS) and teaches business courses for Graceland University’s online programs. Throughout his classes, Binnicker enjoys the integration of simulation gaming and case studies as part of the student experience.

When not teaching or engaged in administrative work, Binnicker loves to travel both nationally and internationally. A favorite pursuit in his travels involves finding new and interesting foods and restaurants. A huge sports fan (Royals, Chiefs and KU Jayhawks), he is still reveling in the 2015 KC Royals World Series Championship.

As a Graceland alumnus, Binnicker truly enjoys working for the University. As a student, he majored in business administration, economics and accounting, and later studied at Baylor University in Texas. During the first part of his professional career, Binnicker worked as a management consultant with Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting) in which he gained a variety of experiences, including projects at Sprint, Hallmark Cards, and several state governments. In his current role at Graceland, Binnicker serves as the operations director for the Independence campus and assists the online/non-traditional programs in a variety of capacities.

Paul and his wife, Andrea, have two children, Justin and Emily, and a very spoiled dog, Princess, who is also a certified member of the family.
