Doctoral Student Nicole Jones Young Wins Her Second Award for Research on ‘Trickle-Down Leadership’ and Inclusivity

Management doctoral candidate Nicole Jones Young has won her second prestigious award in two years for research that shows employees pay close attention to their bosses’ actions, more than their words, when it comes to inclusivity in the workplace.

“A Trickle-Down Approach to Inclusive Leadership: The Role of Supervisory Moral Identity,” was recognized by the prestigious Southern Management Association (SMA) as the top doctoral research paper focused on ethics, social and diversity issues.

She won the same award two years ago for a paper on the same topic, which she and her colleagues have since expanded. The award was presented at the end of October.

Jones Young, who is a fifth-year doctoral student and plans to defend her dissertation in the spring, said she was pleased to be honored along with co-authors and friends Darryl Rice, a management professor at Miami University of Ohio, and Sharon Sheridan, a doctoral candidate at the University of Central Florida.

The Surety Foundation Internship and Scholarship Program

December 18, 2014

The Surety Foundation, the educational arm of The Surety & Fidelity Association of America (SFAA), would like to announce the opening of the competition for Academic Year 2015-2016 internships and scholarship awards under the Surety and Fidelity Industry Intern and Scholarship Program for Minority Students.

This Program provides awards of up to $5,000 to outstanding undergraduate minority students to support their studies in the areas of insurance/risk management, accounting, economics, or business/finance and to encourage their consideration of the surety and fidelity industry and surety/fidelity underwriting as a career choice. The Surety and Fidelity Industry Scholarship awards are funded by annual grants from SFAA, and additional funding from member companies, local surety associations, current and retired individual surety professionals, and others. The internships are paid for by the participating member companies.   The program, established in 2003, is administered through The Surety Foundation, which was established by the SFAA Board of Directors in 2005 to serve as the vehicle to fund and administer these activities.

The students also can download PDF versions of these materials  by going to:  www.thesuretyfoundation.org.

Deadline to apply is January 31, 2015.
