Penn State Smeal MBA Program

Last weekend, our #SmealMBA students celebrated Earth Day by volunteering with @clearwaterconservancy, during their annual event, to remove litter and waste from our community before it can enter our waterways. The group collected 12 bags full of waste from our downtown area in just 2.5 hours! Thank you all for your support of our local conservation! #earthday #earthday2021 #conservation #Teamwork #Volunteer #Impact #Restore #GradSchool #BSchool #MaskUpOrPackUp #community #MBAlife #PennState

This past September, Denny Gioia, the Robert & Judith Auritt Klein Professor of Management, was featured on NPR's Hidden Brain to discuss his time with Ford as a recall coordinator. Below is an Inside the Classroom excerpt; the making of this Smeal educator. You can also listen to the segment: https://www.npr.org//the-halo-effect-why-its-so-difficult- As a student, Denny was the guy who would speak up saying, ‘shouldn’t we account for the employees or the custome...rs in this situation?’ In 1972, Denny cut his hair and took his first corporate job with Ford Motor Company. He hoped that, by becoming an insider, he might be able to shape Ford for the better. I’m an engineer! You can’t just engage in magical thinking because somebody somewhere says there’s a problem. You have to have evidence. So I had to have documentation that something was breaking and I had to see a pattern of failures. In other words, [Denny] needed more than anecdotes, he needed data. #SmealVoices #SmealMBA #SmealEMBA #SmealFaculty #professorlife #MBA #Business #BusinessSchool #BSchool #hiddenbrainpodcast #PennState

The 'We Are' spirit is more than just about Penn State pride, it's about working together and declaring that you are an integral part of the Penn State team. We are all in this together and we need to do everything we can to keep our community COVID-free. Masking up shows your commitment to help every one feel safe, protected , and appreciated, and most importantly, to stay healthy! I wear my mask to keep myself and my family safe and healthy, to demonstrate through my actions that I care about those around me, and to do my very small part to slow the spread of coronavirus in our community. Mike Waldhier, managing director, Resident Professional Graduate Programs, talks about the importance of mask wearing and how wearing a mask positively impacts the entire @pennstate community. #SmealVoices #SmealMBA #MaskUpOrPackUp
