The next series is envisioned as having two events per year, each bringing in top experts or notable figures in the world of business and leadership.

The format will vary, ranging from public lectures to smaller, more intensive sessions with a “thought leader” moderating interactive group discussions.

As the series develops, the idea is to create a yearlong series of programs for current students, alumni and the general public through community partnerships and a variety of educational programs.

The second next event of the 2010-11 year took place February 1 and featured Daniel Pink, influential author of Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us. Co-sponsored by the Arts & Science Council (ASC), the public event was held at the Booth Playhouse and featured a private reception for ASC Vanguard Society supporters and special guests of the Belk College, including members of the college’s Board of Advisors and the university Board of Trustees. Students in the MBA program’s new course on innovation attended the program as part of their course curriculum.

In addition to the public program, Pink spoke at an afternoon event on campus for students, faculty and staff. Held in the movie theater in the new Student Union, the program explored Pink’s best-selling book A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule The Future, which encourages creativity, innovation and, in Pink’s words, “the six essential aptitudes on which professional success and personal fulfillment now depend.”

More than 200 people attended the campus event.

Steven Ott, the John Crosland Sr. Distinguished Professor of Real Estate and Development, has been appointed dean of the Belk College of Business.

“Steve has demonstrated his leadership abilities and skills in relationship-building as director of the Center for Real Estate and a dedicated senior faculty member in the Belk College,” said UNC Charlotte Provost Joan Lorden.

“Chancellor Dubois and I are confident that he will do an outstanding job in leading the college and strengthening ties with the Charlotte business community.”

Dr. Ott replaces Dr. Joseph Mazzola, who stepped down recently to return to the faculty to concentrate on teaching and research.

Dr. Ott joined the UNC Charlotte faculty in 1999 to develop a curriculum in real estate in the Belk College. He crafted an academic concentration in real estate finance and development in the MBA program and was instrumental in the establishment of the Center for Real Estate in 2005. Dr. Ott collaborated with a high-profile group of industry leaders in 2008 to raise $4.4 million to support the expansion of the center’s research and academic programs and spearheaded the addition of a proposed Master of Science in Real Estate at UNC Charlotte, which is pending approval from UNC General Administration. Dr. Ott previously served as interim dean of the Belk College for the 2007-08 academic year.

“This is an exciting time for the Belk College,” Dr. Ott said. “The opening of UNC Charlotte’s Center City Building this fall provides us with new ways to enhance our students’ learning experiences and connect more deeply with the Charlotte business community. I am grateful that the Provost and Chancellor have given me the opportunity to lead the Belk College.”

Dr. Ott earned his undergraduate degree in business administration from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and both his master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research focuses on topics such as real estate valuation, real estate public policy issues and real estate development finance and investment. He has consulted with multiple investment banking, real estate advisory and real estate development firms.

Dr. Ott has been recognized as an academic fellow by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and leads a number of ULI’s professional development programs. Additionally, he has served as a distinguished research fellow with NAIOP, the national commercial real estate development association.

Babson Capital to sponsor UNC Charlotte Economic Forecast Babson Capital Management LLC has signed an agreement with UNC Charlotte to sponsor the university’s highly-regarded Economic Forecast for North Carolina.

Under the three-year, renewable partnership, the Forecast will be renamed the Babson Capital/UNC Charlotte Economic Forecast. In addition, Forecast Director John Connaughton will hold the title Babson Capital Professor of Financial Economics in the Belk College of Business.

“We’re pleased to support UNC Charlotte and the Belk College of Business through our sponsorship of the Economic Forecast,” said Babson Capital Chairman & CEO Thomas Finke. “The university and the college provide vital intellectual capital to the Charlotte region and the state, and John Connaughton’s reports provide important Thomas Finke information for business and community leaders as we work together to grow and transform our economy.”

The UNC Charlotte Economic Forecast is published quarterly and presented by Dr. Connaughton at a community luncheon and press conference. It provides both a review of North Carolina’s recent economic performance and an estimate of the state’s future growth,

focusing on industrial sectors.

As a result of the Babson Capital sponsorship, Dr. Connaughton is exploring enhancements to the Forecast, either by expanding beyond North Carolina or by providing targeted information on specific regions in the state. The Belk College is also considering hosting Forecast events outside Charlotte to engage business and civic leaders statewide. In addition, the partners are exploring ways for Dr. Connaughton and other Belk College faculty to collaborate with Babson Capital to leverage the firm’s significant breadth and depth of investment expertise and global presence.

UNC Charlotte, Bank of America announce Applied Technology Program

UNC Charlotte and Bank of America have launched an innovative new program for the next generation of knowledge workers.

The Bank of America Applied Technology Program (ATP) is designed to give students the opportunity to work for the bank while pursuing their undergraduate degrees. The 17-month program provides students studying technology and business the means to gain real world experience in the financial services industry.

More comprehensive in scope than a traditional co-op or internship, the students are being educated and working for the entire duration of 17 months. The goal is to provide each student with relevant experiences that will enable them to grow into appropriate roles in the corporate

environment. During each period of the program, the students will either be receiving college credit or getting paid on a competitive scale.

Beginning in spring 2011, students will start the program during the second half of their junior school year for course credit, work during the summer full-time, and resume their work throughout their senior year on a part-time basis until graduation.

Based in office space at a Bank of America branch near campus, students work within the bank’s technology group, contributing to efforts to ensure applications on the bank’s global network remain available for customers and bank associates. The ATP also provides participants

a workplace experience and the opportunity to develop a strong knowledge of technology and its application and integration to the business side of financial services. This includes process documentation, application monitoring, user management, assigned projects, and mentorship.

bcc: STUDENTS SIFE team works for local change, global impact “A head for business. A heart for the world” is the tag line for the Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), an international non-profit organization that works with leaders in business and higher education to mobilize university students to make a difference in their communities while developing the skills needed to become socially responsible business leaders.

Since its launch in 2003, the UNC Charlotte SIFE team has focused on positively impacting their community, both locally and globally. With the help of their faculty advisors, Dr. Carol Swartz and Dr. Kevin Toomb, SIFE students strive to combine business logic with a passion for community service by designing and implementing a number of service projects each year.

SIFE OFFICERS In the current academic year, SIFE is focusing on three major projects: President Rachel Williams Success for Teens, My$pending, and the VP of Operations Etiquette Dinner.

VP of Marketing Tabitha Van Arkel

SIFE students facilitate discussions with more than 150 high school students twice a week, encouraging the teens to share their ideas and experiences. With the help of the SIFE team, these students face their daily challenges head-on, making the best decisions to guide their lives, and reducing the impact of the peers who negatively influence them. SIFE has committed a project team of 15 students, including one student who will analyze the nature of the project’s impact on the West Charlotte students and teachers for her Senior Honors Thesis.

My$pending In 2008, SIFE created a financial literacy program for high school students. Curriculum development support came from 13 financial experts from Wachovia, Bank of America, Hinrichs Flanagan, and CharlotteSaves.

In 2009-2010, SIFE taught 18 graduating high school seniors how to be financially competent.

Now, the team is moving the My$pending project closer to home by bringing it to UNC Charlotte’s Freshman Learning Communities and B.E.S.T. (Building Educational Strengths and Talents) program. As all SIFE team members know, financial stress can be a big distraction during the first year of college, and the team is aiming to improve and secure the lives of many of its fellow Forty-Niners.

The dinner allows UNC Charlotte students to learn dining etiquette over a three-course dinner and to network with Charlotte business professionals.

The Belk College

T

he Belk College of Business celebrates its 40th anniversary this year. Although UNC Charlotte had been graduating business students since its earliest days, the creation of colleges marked a significant milestone in the transformation of the university.

The past 40 years have seen many more transformations to the university and the college, as well as to the lives of the students, faculty and staff that have passed through the Friday Building.

When the College of Business Administration was created in 1970, the college had 743 undergraduate students. This fall, we enrolled 3,013 undergraduates.

Then, we had 60 graduate students. Now, nearly 700.

Then, 17 professors constituted the entire faculty of the college. Professors from those early days recall that they all shared

Then, in 1970, the college had just one graduate degree, the Master of Management. Now, the college offers four master’s degrees as well as three Ph.D programs.

Then, the college had no international affiliations. Now, we have active partnerships with top universities in Mexico, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Denmark and Australia.

Then, the college was not nationally accredited. Now, the Belk College has held AACSB accreditation for more than 25 years.

Then, the college had a handful of alumni from the early years of teaching business and economics classes. Now, there are more than 21,000 alumni from coast to coast, making an impact in their companies and their communities.

Whether you are a student, a professor, staff member, a graduate, or a member of the Greater Charlotte community, you have helped to play a role in the success we celebrate. Thank you.

Rogelberg connects academy to industry in innovative Ph.D. program

14

Dr. Steven Rogelberg, one of the Belk College’s newest faculty members, is actually a veteran UNC Charlotte professor who brings with him a strong academic pedigree, extensive industry connections and an interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial approach to learning.

A longtime faculty member in the Department of Psychology, Dr. Rogelberg now holds a joint appointment in the Department of Management.

When he first enrolled in the Ph.D. program in Industrial/Organizational Psychology at the University of Connecticut, Dr. Rogelberg imagined a career in consulting. But his experience at UConn made him realize that “entrepreneurial spirit can exist in academia,” he recalls.

Dr. Rogelberg began his professorial career at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, where he also ran a management-consulting center that engaged both corporate and non-profit clients. During a sabbatical at the University of Sheffield, England, Dr. Rogelberg taught in the business school and their interdisciplinary cross-college think-tank focused on organizations. “We didn’t see that model in the United States; it was a transformative experience,” he says.

In 2002, Dr. Rogelberg began conversations at UNC Charlotte with Dr. Schley Lyons, then dean of the College of Arts & Sciences (now the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences). Dr. Lyons was a champion of interdisciplinary programs and wanted to “do something different in the marketplace,” Dr. Rogelberg remembers.

“This aspiration immediately resonated with me,” Dr. Rogelberg recounts. “I was convinced that we could build a program here like none other – a program that spans colleges and brings together scholars across disciplines to truly understand and work to improve individual and organizational health, well-being, and effectiveness.” He joined the UNC Charlotte faculty in 2003 as an associate professor of psychology and began building the Ph.D. in Organizational Science program.

Dr. Rogelberg engaged several faculty members from the Belk College’s Department of Management in the planning process to create an innovative curriculum, impactful research infrastructure, and a program that also connected deeply with the community.

“We didn’t want to repurpose courses from current programs, but really aimed to create something new at UNC Charlotte, something world-class in a world-class city,” he recalls, “and our model resonated in the marketplace.”

With an integrated, systemic approach to studying organizations, the Ph.D. in Organizational Science program was immediately “flooded with applicants,” Rogelberg says. “We were out-recruiting Ivy League schools by our second year.”

The program currently enrolls 22 doctoral students, who combine rigorous academic training and high research expectations with outreach, consulting and corporate and community engagements. Faculty members come from four primary disciplines – organizational sociology, industrial/organizational psychology, organizational communication and management – and students focus on a variety of topics, including employee motivation, organizational design and structure, performance management and leadership.

Dr. Rogelberg also established a consulting unit to provide students and faculty with the opportunity to apply their research and training while solving real-life problems. Local corporate clients have included Bank of America, TIAA-CREF and Lowe’s, while the non-profit community has benefited from the program’s two large outreach initiatives: the Volunteer Program Analysis (VPA), which assesses the strength of organizations’ volunteer infrastructure, and the Shelter Diagnostic System, which focuses on aiding animal shelters

gained extensive media attention, including a mention in The Wall Street Journal and a feature article in the Sloan Management Review. He serves as the editor of the Journal of Business Psychology and has held guest professorships at business schools in Tel Aviv, Zurich and Montreal.

“Steven’s joint appointment was an important milestone for the Organizational Science program,” says Dr. Joe Mazzola, former dean of the Belk College.

“It demonstrated the college’s commitment not only to the program itself, but also to weaving interdisciplinary programs into the fiber and strategic mission of the college.”

Dr. Rogelberg adds, “For me personally, my new joint appointment has been fantastic. I thoroughly enjoy my colleagues in the Belk College. Their passion around scholarship, teaching, and community engagement are highly aligned with my personal values. The college is doing some great stuff. I am thrilled to contribute to it in any way I can.”

across the country. Over 50 non-profits have engaged in these efforts.

Another collaboration partner is the highly-regarded Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), headquartered in Greensboro. Organizational Science (OS) students have participated in research partnerships with the CCL, and Dr. Rogelberg is a leader of the Better Leadership Idea Group, an interdisciplinary group that explores issues related to leader success, derailment, support, development, health, and organizational effectiveness.

Dr. Rogelberg is especially proud of the program’s Organizational Science Summer Institute, an inclusion initiative designed to “increase the pipeline” of underrepresented groups into doctoral programs. It includes GRE preparation sessions and an introduction to academic and professional research.

“Diversity and inclusion is not just a statement on paper for us,” he says. “We do all we can to live it on a day-to-day basis. To us, being interdisciplinary and being diverse go hand and hand.” The student body of the OS program spans ages, gender, backgrounds, ethnicities, and race.

Dr. Rogelberg describes his research interests as “eclectic,” focusing on a variety of topics related to leadership, teams and employee health and wellbeing.
