Doctoral Presentation
Charn McAllister presented some of his work on ‘connectivity in the workplace’. His
research is looking at some of the downsides to being constantly connected to the
workplace via smart phones and email. His PowerPoint presentation is available for all
of you to see and if anyone is interested in opening up your firm for Charn to collect
some data regarding this timely topic, please contact me at [email protected] or Charn at
[email protected].
Career Center Presentation
Myrna Hoover (Director, Career Services) and Calvin Williams (Program Director for
Employer Relation and Recruitment Services) presented an overview of their career
center operation at Florida State University. They discussed ways in which individual
companies can connect with the career center for recruiting. Please see the PowerPoint
presentation that contains all of the relevant information. Impressive Statistic: The FSU
Career Center continues to be ranked in the top five (often one or two) career centers in
the nation.
Undergraduate SHRM Student Scholarship
The Management Department at FSU has an endowment for undergraduate scholarships
and our new Department Chair, Jack Fiorito, has graciously agreed to designate one
scholarship each year for our SHRM student scholarship. The award is now a $2,000.00
scholarship. This year’s recipient was a surprised Hannah Weinbaum. Hannah has an
exceptional grade point average and she has worked tirelessly with Shanna Daniels (our
SHRM faculty advisor) as well as the SHRM chapter at FSU. Congratulations, Hannah!
Afternoon Career Success Presentations to FSU students
