Springfield, OH—The Wittenberg University Department of Management has selected twelve students for distinguished honors for their Management Senior Portfolios. Each year the Management faculty, along with local businesspeople, select the most outstanding portfolios. This year 55 management majors presented their portfolios. Students whose portfolios represent the highest caliber of work are given the title of Distinguished.
Portfolios serve as a compilation of seniors’ management knowledge and experiences, and exceptional evidence of their ability to apply management concepts and theory. Students also use their portfolios in job interviews and admission to graduate or professional programs.
This year’s distinguished seniors are: Carolyn Boggs from Columbus, Ohio, Dillion Charney from Springfield, Ohio, Matt Delestienne from Venetia, Pennsylvania, Sean Fields from Coppell, Texas, Ally Finn from Sandusky, Ohio, Jonathan Fox from Urbana, Ohio, Rob Loeffler from Perrysberg, Ohio, Matt Lynch from Springfield, Ohio, Allison Walker from Columbus, Ohio, Tricia Wendt from Hudson, Ohio, Dale Williams from Upper Arlington, Ohio, and Brad Wilson from New Carlisle, Ohio. A student who is given the title of distinguished portfolio possesses qualities and has amassed experience that makes them stand out.
For the second year, managers were asked to judge the oral presentations of the students chosen as candidates for 2008 Distinguished Senior Management Portfolio. The judges this year were Lisa Milley-Evans ’99, Katie Magoteaux ’99, Charles McFarland ’92, Kerry Pedraza ’00, Mark Riggle ’96, and Kenneth Spicer ’03.
This year, six seniors were given Honorable Mention for distinguished portfolios. These seniors are: Amy Apidone from Richfield, Ohio, Abby Johnson from Powell, Ohio, Mary Beth Lintz from Englewood, Ohio, Tyler MacDonald from Dublin, Ohio, Erica McGough from Lima, Ohio, and Suzanne Thompson from Dayton, Ohio.
The Wittenberg Management Portfolio process has two parts: a physical portfolio, drawn from the student’s experiences since becoming a management major, and an oral presentation on a topic of the student’s choice, followed by questions from a panel of managers and faculty evaluators. The portfolio must contain at least three elements demonstrating the student’s management knowledge and experience.
