The 2024 edition of the Turner College's Fall Semester Welcome Back Event was a big success. In fact, this year's event had the highest attendance across the past three years, with well over 300 attendees. "I appreciate [the Turner College faculty for] spreading the word to our students, showing up and participating, and welcoming the students back to campus," stated Laurie Aiken, Student Recruitment and Engagement Specialist in the Turner College. Aiken also thanked student club faculty advisors for helping organize and motivate their club officers to be available for the booths. "We had representation of all eight of our student clubs with close to 200 new members added. This event is our best recruiting effort for club growth which equals more student involvement," Aiken added. Thanks are also due to Turner College faculty Charles Boster, Laurence Marsh, Mark James, and Josh Brooks for serving the pizzas, and Nexus instructor Armando Fernandez for cleaning up at the end.
Former Turner College student Tamara Todorova , now an associate professor of economics at American University in Bulgaria (AUB), recently published a study on corporate culture and strategy. Todorova earned an MBA from the Turner College in 1996 and then went on to earn a doctorate in international economics from the University of Economics - Varna in 2001. She has been on the faculty at AUB since August of 2000. Todorova's study, which appears in the current issue of the International Journal of Business Performance Management , investigates how corporate culture helps to economize on the transaction costs of internal organization. As she explains, the dimensions of corporate culture that assist in this task include increasing trust and reducing intrafirm opportunism. Todorova's study demonstrates that setting common goals and a common direction reduces the sizeable costs of internal organization. Tamara's prior research appears in Economics of Transition , International
