During the Fall Semester 2000, a number of awards and recognitions were given to select students for various areas. Cornell Business would like to recognize these students for a job well done!

The McAllister Awards: Originating in 1983 with an endowment from Donald McAllister (Cornell class of 1922), the award recognizes those first-year students who have excelled in writing and public speaking. For the first time, Charlotte Rosen, Senior Lecturer in Management Communications, integrated both competitions into various courses, rather than have stand-alone competitions. The speaking award was tied to the Vistakon case analysis held in the marketing core, while the writing award has been tied to three courses: the marketing core, Financial Markets and Institutions (NBA 543), and the Semester in Manufacturing (SiM) Immersion. Awards for SiM students will be given at the end of the Spring 2000 semester.

Recipients of the McAllister Award for public speaking were first-years James Durand, Grace Fung, Jodi Glickman, and Zoe Werner. Honorable mentions were given to first-years Avid Amiri, Melinda Byerley, Laura Ann Cooley, Alice Curry, Geoffrey Goodman, Gerhard Gruter, Tao Jin, Tangwena Nelson, Robert Reeves, Henry Shen, and Geoffrey Vitale.

Recipients of the McAllister Award for writing were first-years Matthew Backman, Charles Colagiuri, and Michael Gauthier from the Marketing core, and second-years David Henderson and Brent Rasmussen from Financial Markets and Institutions (NBA 543).

Bristol-Myers Squibb Award for Student Excellence in the Study of Management & Organizations: The Organizational Behavior Group and the Center for Leadership in Dynamic Organizations created this award to recognize those students who excelled in the Management and Organizations core. Bristol-Myers Squibb, which wanted to reflect its commitment to the study of organizational behavior and leadership, sponsors this award. Recipients received a certificate and shared a $4,000 honorarium. This is the first year that the award has been given.

This year's recipients of the Bristol-Myers Squibb award included first-years Laura Cooley, Moon Ju Kim, Christopher Knerr, Gene Rendino, and Elaine Tecklenburg.

Congratulations again from the Cornell Business Staff!

Many thanks to Professors Elizabeth Mannix, David Sally and Charlotte Rosen for providing information about these awards.
