Second-Year Turner College Management Faculty Tom Ngo Quickly Building Solid Record of Service at CSU

In only his second year in the Turner College, management professor Tom Ngo is establishing a commendable record of service. Ngo serves on the Turner College's Strategic Planning Committee, a group that has spent the past several months establishing one-year and five-year strategic goals aligned with the CSU’s broader priorities that recently resulted in the faculty-approved Vision 2030. As a member of CSU's Research and Grants Committee, Ngo collaborated with Michelle Eady, a Fulbright Scholar visiting CSU, to organize and deliver a “Lunch and Learn” session. This initiative supported faculty development by promoting research engagement and grant-related discussion. Additionally, as the faculty advisor to the CSU International Student Club, Ngo participated in international student orientation and supported students’ academic and cultural transition to CSU, fostering inclusivity and global engagement. Relatedly, he also delivered a talk for the English Language Institute (ELI) program, contributing to continuing and professional education efforts and engaging with non-traditional learners. Since joining the Turner College, Ngo has also served on a faculty search committee in the CSU Department of Policy, Justice, and Public Safety, a position that involved reviewing applications, evaluating candidates, participating in interviews, and contributing to deliberations about the scholarly qualifications, teaching effectiveness, and institutional fit of the candidates. Outside of CSU, and in collaboration with Hien Nguyen, Ngo served as co-advisor to a master’s student at the University of Wisconsin–Whitewater. This intensive mentorship included research design guidance, manuscript development support, data analysis consultation, and professional development advising. Ngo has also reviewed conference submissions for the Academy of Management and Southern Management Association, providing constructive and developmental feedback to authors. In a somewhat similar role, Ngo served as a session chair at the 2025 Eurasia Business and Economics Society conference. In this position, he facilitated scholarly discussions, managed session flow, and supported academic exchange among international researchers. Lastly, Ngo has met with local business managers to coordinate mini-consulting projects for students enrolled in his principles of management courses. These meetings ensured meaningful collaboration between CSU and the local business community, enhancing experiential learning while strengthening university-community partnerships. Please join Turner Business in recognizing Ngo's outstanding service contributions to CSU and the Turner College.
