Curricular and program development

Texas A&M University—San Antonio

  • Proposed and implemented BBA core curriculum change to incorporate two 1-credit hour experiential learning courses in all business degree plans. Identified faculty champions and worked to launch initial courses in 2017. In addition to internships, undergraduate research, and study abroad, these courses have included the following: Applied Business Ethics (Ethics bowl competition team), intellectual property, negotiation, volunteer income tax preparation, business speaker series, and a problem-based learning class (“Jaguar Business Consulting Lab”).
  • Proposed creation of business professionalism course that culminates with a 4-course formal networking dinner, where students are paired with invited guests from the business community to practice their networking skills.
    • Identified a faculty member to develop and teach the course.
    • Worked with the university advancement office to secure underwriting to cover the costs of the dinners for the first two years. Funding later changed to college funds generated by the SHRM prep class.
    • Two sections of the course are typically offered every semester.
  • Launched a “Career skills night” where business professionals and faculty members assist students with interviewing skills, resume clinics, linked-in profiles, and other professional skills to prepare them for their job searches to represent themselves at career fairs successfully. This event started in spring 2018 and was offered every semester through 2020. Over 215 students participated.
  • Successfully applied for an internal grant (approximately $17,000) to launch the “Jaguar business consulting lab.”
  • Partnered with the National Association of Women Business Owners to bring the “Entrepreneurial Connections” conference to campus in 2017, 2018, and 2019
  • Proposed and led an initiative to create departmental and college-level graduation awards to showcase student success

Drury University

  • Developed a proposal to incorporate “writing across the curriculum” requirements into the BBA core. Key learning objectives as assessment artifacts related to written communication learning goals were successfully embedded at the freshman through senior level.
  • Helped revise the university general education core curriculum and proposed a system of tagging courses that had substantive global emphases as part of a revised general education core curriculum.
  • Helped develop the “MBA Bootcamp,” a short summer program to prepare students without a business background to fulfill the business prerequisites and enter the MBA. This process included drafting the curriculum and proposing pricing and faculty compensation structures.
  • Developed proposal to successfully bring National Self Defense Institute: Self-defense Awareness and Familiarity Exchange (SAFE) Instructor Training workshop to campus in 2008.
    • Researched potential self-defense and sexual assault preventions programs and selected NSDI as the best fit for the campus community.
    • Partnered with the Associate Director of Campus Safety and Security (Mark Geiss) to have the University host the “train the trainer” event. Jointly managed all logistics for the event.
    • Secured internal funding to support the training event. Additionally secured internal funding to offer the SAFE program to the campus community.
    • Identified local community and law enforcement organizations and promoted the “train the trainer” event.
    • Promoted the event through local radio and tv interviews.
    • Event successfully trained more than 30 instructors.
    • Post-event, the Drury instructor team offered the SAFE program from 2008-2012, offering multiple workshops each semester, with approximately 300 total participants.
