It's difficult to overstate how important Michael Harrell's visit to the Turner College last week was in terms of being somewhat of a shot in the arm to the academic life of the Turner College at this point in time. Harrell was the first presenter in the Turner College's renewed Distinguished Speaker Series, and his talk titled “Carving Out Success” provided valuable insights from his entrepreneurial journey, including the experiences, challenges, leadership, and work ethic that have shaped his success as the owner of The New York Butcher Shoppe & Wine Bar and 11th & Bay Southern Table. Turner Business joins others in expressing gratitude to Harrell for taking the time to engage with our students and share his perspective on entrepreneurship and building a successful career. Thank you is also extended to everyone who contributed to making this event possible, especially management information systems professor Jennifer Pitts, who has been the catalyst for this series' renewal.
The shot in the arm provided by the renewal of the Distinguished Speaker Series was boosted by a few research successes in the Turner College since we last posted a "News & Notes" on September 14th. Yesterday's focus on management professor Mark James' research in Negotiation in Conflict Management Research on preferred conflict management styles is one example. Others come from the TSYS School, with Yi Zhou's publication in IEEE Transactions on Computers regarding the performance of solid-state drives, and Rahmatullah Roche's paper in STAR Protocols on a computational protocol for predicting protein-RNA interactions. Congrats to these three researchers on their recent successes.
