CSU's annual First-Year Convocation offered the university’s newest students first-hand accounts of the ins and outs of college life. During the recent event, a panel of juniors and seniors shared their insights on everything from academic success to building their network. The four-student panel represented college majors from physical and health sciences to business and communication. Jiane Rabara, a Turner College major and member of the Butler Center staff, said that, as an international student from the Philippines, being a member of several student organizations and attending campus activities helped her adjust culturally and academically. “Finding your place is as simple as choosing your right circle,” she added. “Here in college, you’re going to meet many people—maybe from a group project, an organization, or maybe from the cafeteria or anywhere. But it’s important to choose the right people who will inspire you to be the best version of yourself.”
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
