As a new co-advisor to Beta Gamma Sigma, an international business honor society, at the UWEC chapter, I was sent to attend the BGS collegiate training seminar to learn more about Beta Gamma Sigma and how to grow the chapter.

The seminar started on Thursday evening with a reception and dinner. Then, followed by the whole day of training on Friday. It was very useful for new officers and those who wanted to learn more about BGS. I also met other advisors from other schools and we exchanged ideas and practices that we do at different campuses.

Leader-Telegram, a local newspaper, published a story about my research with a psychology student, Emily Karch, last week. Thank you, UWEC, for the faculty-student research grant that gave me an opportunity to work with Emily on this project. It was an incredible experience collaborating with a student outside the College of Business.

In November 2014, I had an opportunity to appear on the television to discuss consumer holiday shopping behavior together with another UWEC professor, Scott Swanson, and UW-Stout professor, George Duychak. The show was hosted by Henry Lippold who is UW-Eau Claire professor emeritus and was on-air on Public Access Channel 994 during the month of December.
