Metro State faculty continue to bring national recognition to the College for their academic expertise.
Bill Carnes, visiting professor of management, has had his paper,"A Practical Perspective of Contingeny Leadership Theory" accepted for publication in the May 2009 issue of the Journal of Accounting Information Science and Leadership.
Four Department of Health Professions’ faculty members who specialize in nutrition have had their $260,000 grant from the USDA approved. Assistant Professor Cindy Heiss, Associate Professor Bruce Rengers, Assistant Professor Mike Bizeau and Assistant Professor Cindy Dormer were awarded a Higher Education Challenge Grant for a project to increase cultural competency among nutrition and dietetics students. The project involves recruiting Hispanic students to the human nutrition and dietetics major, developing a Certificate in Hispanic Cultural Competency, and implementing a summer immersion program in Cuernavaca, Mexico, where students will take courses and increase their Spanish-speaking proficiency. Watch @Metro for an upcoming article about the project.
