A Message From The Chair

We continue to see increasing student enrollments in our concentrations and, despite this strain on our resources, are proud of the innovative efforts of our faculty to improve the Department of Management! We hired three new faculty members as well as a postdoctoral fellow. The faculty continue to excel in research and teaching in their efforts to promote the College’s Business for a Better World vision. We hope you have experienced many successes as well!

Top Research

We continue to elevate the quality and impact of our research. Several faculty published their research in top journals. Lynn Shore and Mara Waller were recognized for their research contributions with internal awards. Three of our faculty (Travis Maynard, Samantha Conroy and Tom Dean) received College professorships, and two (Chris Henle and Gideon Markman) received Dean’s Distinguished Research Fellowships.

Excellence in Teaching

Our faculty went above and beyond again this year to provide our students with signature experiences both in and out of the classroom. Courses are incorporating stronger ties to diversity, equity and inclusion as well as cutting-edge technology, and we continued to participate and excel in international case competitions and other student engagement events. Two of our faculty (Paulo Borges de Brito and Henle) received Best Teaching Awards, and four (Dean, Bill Shuster, Tiffany Trzebiatowski and Paul Vanderspek) received internal awards based on their teaching. Shuster also received the Dean’s Distinguished Teaching Fellowship. We are grateful for our faculty’s efforts over the past few semesters as well as for many of you who visited our classes to provide real-time, real-world lessons for our students.

Engaging with You

We are excited about our various engagements with alumni and the business community. Together with our 2023 Peak Partner, Woodward, we will host an alumni and friends appreciation event Sep 14. Our annual alumni night in February brought alumni, students and faculty together to connect. We held very successful meetings in the fall and spring for our Human Resources Edge Network and Supply Chain Management Forum. Thanks to the generosity of these two groups, we now award scholarships for our HR and SCM undergraduate students, and we are working on raising money to endow an additional scholarship tied to our management concentration. We also would like to establish faculty fellowships to support research. If you are interested in giving to any of these, please visit our giving page: csu.bz/support-mgmt .

I would like to thank each of you for your continued support of our department. If you have any feedback, please contact me: susan.golicic@colostate.edu. If you haven’t connected with us, I encourage you to do so through LinkedIn (csu.bz/mgmt-linkedin). And we hope to see you at an appreciation event soon!
