Congratulations to Terri Ricks, who successfully defended her dissertation and is preparing to graduate with her doctorate from the LSU School of Leadership & Human Resource Development

On May 5th, Terri successfully defended her dissertation, “Developing a Practitioner-Informed Framework of Poverty Competencies for Early Childhood Education Professionals.”

Terri’s research developed a practitioner-informed framework of poverty competencies for early childhood education professionals, highlighting the knowledge and skills practitioners identified as essential when working with families, colleagues, and communities affected by poverty. Her study contributes to HRD scholarship by extending competency framework research into the early childhood education workforce and demonstrating the value of practitioner knowledge in shaping professional preparation and practice.

We also recognize Terri’s dissertation committee for their guidance and support: Petra A. Robinson, Dr. Sunyoung Park, Dean Roland Mitchell, and Dr. Anmol Soni.

Please join us in congratulating Terri on this outstanding academic achievement!

We’re proud to celebrate Dr. Missy Korduner for her impactful work advancing graduate student success at LSU!

As part of a cross-campus team, Dr. Korduner helped launch the Graduate Student Leadership Initiative (GSLI)—a program designed to strengthen leadership development, build confidence, and support graduate students both personally and professionally.

Through this initiative, students engage in strengths-based development, personalized leadership planning, and coaching—resulting in measurable growth in leadership identity and self-awareness.

This work exemplifies what it means to build meaningful programs that elevate student success and create lasting impact. Congratulations, Dr. Korduner, on this well-deserved recognition!

We are proud to celebrate Janet Okoroji, one of our doctoral students, on the publication of her first solo article—a major milestone in her academic journey!

Her work, “Oops ‘we’ did it again: Analyzing how HR practice can go beyond leader narcissism by stimulating or suppressing collective narcissism in teams,” was published in Industrial and Organizational Psychology . In this piece, Janet expands on existing research by examining how HR practices influence not just leaders, but team-level dynamics through collective narcissism—offering valuable insight into interteam collaboration and organizational behavior.

This achievement reflects her dedication, expertise, and growing impact in the field of human resource development.

👏 Join us in congratulating Janet on this outstanding accomplishment—we’re excited to see what comes next!
