SU Celebrates Faculty Successes
SALISBURY, MD---黑料网 celebrates the following recent faculty and staff successes:
Dr. Carolina Bown, senior lecturer in the Modern Languages and Intercultural Studies Department of the Charles R. and Martha N. Fulton School of Liberal Arts, has been named a United Nations “WE Empower Challenge” program coach through the International Leadership Association (ILA). The global business competition for female entrepreneurs pairs winners with ILA mentors who have shown exemplary leadership.
Bown will mentor Karla Ruiz Cofiño of the UN’s Latin America and the Caribbean region, founder of the Digital Awareness program, a curriculum developed for conferences and workshops. The program provides people with skills and knowledge to become positive digital leaders by establishing strong digital personal brands, and teaching them how to connect to the world with technology and use their influence to improve it.
Several faculty from the Richard A. Henson School of Science and Technology provided their expertise as volunteers during the Talbot Mentors Girls Science Camp in Easton, MD, this summer.
Drs. Steven Binz, assistant professor of physics, and Giulia Franchi, assistant professor of mathematics and computer science, joined campers in conducting interactive experiments. Dr. Sarah Wesolowski, also an assistant professor of mathematics and computer science, assisted with Raspberry Pi programming and hardware projects.
Drs. Richard Hoffman and Frank Shipper, management and marketing professors emeriti from the Franklin P. Perdue School of Business, presented at a professional development workshop during the Academy of Management’s annual meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Shipper presented opening and closing remarks, discussing how employee-owned businesses help lessen race- and gender-based inequality and how those with high-engagement cultures generally are more profitable than traditional firms. The presentation was based on a proposal co-authored by Shipper with Dr. Raymond Saner of the UN Task Force on Social and Solidarity Economy.
