Valerie Grabiel, Simmons School of Management Class of '05, and recipient of a National Society of Hispanic MBA (NSHMBA) scholarship was recognized at the 2nd Annual NSHMBA Networking Gala held by the association's Boston Chapter this past weekend. NSHMBA seeks to foster Hispanic leadership through graduate management education and professional development, thus preparing the future Hispanic leaders in corporate America. NSHMBA Scholarships are available to part-time and full-time Hispanic students enrolled in graduate study of management. For more information visit www.nshmba.org The article “Our earliest mentors: Is there a father in the house?” mentioning Simmons School of Management co-founders and first deans Ann Jardim and Margaret Hennig continues to appear in the media nationwide. The article mentions research the two former deans conducted for their book, The Managerial Woman, which found that the top 25 female achievers in American business had fathers who encouraged them to excel. The article appeared in nearly 25 publications nationwide on August 31, including Tampa Bay Business Journal, Washington Business Journal, and the Houston Business Journal. Professor Lynda Moore was invited to participate in a session on the 20th anniversary of the Gender and Diversity Division of the Academy of Management at their annual meeting in August held in New Orleans. Moore was Chair of the Women in Management Division in 1988. The Women in Management Division was the predecessor of the Gender and Diversity Division and Professor Moore was involved in its early pioneering establishment. She participated in a program with other former officers of the Division that presented a retrospective review of the division and the field. The August 9 issue of Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education (Paramus, NJ) featured an article on the May 6 Professional Women of Color Conference held at Simmons College on May 6. The conference, co-sponsored by the Center for Gender in Organizations, Simmons School of Management and Working Mother Media, offered a venue for an unusual and open discussion of problems that professional women of color still face in the workplace. The event drew nearly 200 women from business and academics to discuss differences between white and minority women in the workplace. Deborah Kolb, the Deloitte Ellen Gabriel Professor for Women and Leadership, was the guest speaker for the Financial Women's Association of Chicago on October 5th. Her talk, entitled “Her Place at the Table - A Woman's Guide to Negotiating Five Challenges of Leadership Success,” was delivered to more than 60 women, including Nancy Masashi '97 and Siobhan S. Flynn ’93, organizer of the event. Assistant Professor of Finance Patricia Clarke reviewed and discussed two papers at the Financial Management Association annual meeting in New Orleans, October 6-9. The papers were “Conducting Event Studies on a Small Stock Exchange with Thinly Traded Stocks” and “Identifying the Gap Between Student and Faculty Expectations: Report from a Business School.” On October 15, Professor Stacy Blake-Beard gave a live interview on New Black City Radio, St. Louis, regarding her CGO Commentaries publication “Releasing the Double Bind of Visibility for Minorities in the Workplace.” Looking at lessons learned from the first season of NBC’s The Apprentice, authors Stacy Blake-Beard, CGO faculty affiliate, and Laura Morgan Roberts of Harvard Business School discuss two frequently employed visibility strategies and their implications for minorities who choose to use them. They also offer advice on how minorities can strategically manage their visibility most effectively in work organizations. The CGO Commentaries series paper can be found on www.simmons.edu/som/cgo. Acting SOM Dean Deborah Merrill-Sands was quoted in the Diversity Works supplement of the October 17 Boston Sunday Globe. In the article “Shattering the Glass Ceiling: In 2004, is gender still a diversity issue?,” Merrill-Sands asserts that one of the most difficult challenges facing women in the workplace is an assumption based on anecdotal data that women don't wish to seek leadership roles. This reinforces gender stereotypes, and “also shifts responsibility for change away from organizations and places it squarely on the shoulders of individual women,” Merrill-Sands says. The article also highlights the Simmons School of Management as the only MBA program in the world geared exclusively to women. Janine Dusossoit SOM ’82 has joined Safeguard Scientifics, Inc., as Vice President of Investor Relations. She is responsible for the company’s communications with financial analysts, investors, and the business media. Dusossoit also manages the company’s marketing communications. SOM Class
