At our most recent conference in Atlanta, Dr. Richard
Klimoski, Dean of the School of Management at
George
Mason University addressed these issues in a session
organized by Janet Marler (SUNY at Albany) and
Kelly
Zellers (UNC-Charlotte).
While all three speakers provided thoughtful insights
into the future of HR programs and academic careers,
Dr. Klimoski's presentation focused on the specific
steps that individuals could take to enhance their
career
pursuits with their stakeholders. Therefore, we
thought we would provide you his slides outlining
specific actions that Division members may want to
consider in pursuing professional success in the field
of HR.
Dr. Klimoski’s comments focused on
the good and bad news facing HR professionals in
business
schools, as well as specific actions each of us can
take to
“help the Dean, help you.” The Executive Committee
of the
HR Division felt that the points raised in this talk
were so
insightful, that we wanted to make these available to
all of
our members. You can access the content of Dr.
Klimoski’s

publishing the views of our membership on this
critical topic in
future newsletters.
