Professor Spotlight—Dr. Micki Kacmar
Professor Micki Kacmar, Vice President of the
Southern Management Association (SMA), was the
Chairperson of the SMA conference held in
Savannah, GA in November of this year. Dr. Kacmar
introduced several changes to the conference agenda
that were highly appreciated by the attendees. These
changes included creative innovations such as ‘Act
Out of Your Research,’ ‘Research Speed Dating,’ and
‘Off-Site Experience’ that involved a visit to a couple
of local businesses. Other changes included logistic
amendments that enabled attendees to take time to
explore the city. Thanks to Dr. Kacmar’s leadership
and management, the conference was a resounding
success.
Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Kacmar! We are
proud to have you on our Management team.
Dr. Kacmar and Dr. Chris Shook, President of SMA
Hispanic Business Students Association Spotlight
The Department of Management would like to congratulate several students for giving back to the community! Members of the HBSA organization on campus
supported a local non-profit organization—School Fuel—by packing 361 sacks for Thanksgiving to deliver to elementary schools within San Marcos CISD.
The group is also going to help pack Christmas sacks and deliver them to even
more children within the community. School Fuel works to provide nutritious food to San Marcos students who are in need of food security on the weekends. The
goal is to break the poverty cycle by providing weekend food sacks.
We are so happy that Texas State University students are reaching out to help! We appreciate your hard work and dedication.
We would like to give a special thank you to Sharon Medina, Donaji Medina, Carlos
Enrique Acha De Jesus, Javier Melendez, Daniel Montoya, Rebecca Recio, Karlie Ramirez, and Mariela Martinez (all pictured below).
