Current News:

Dr. Tony Marker was extended an invitation from ISPI Europe to present with past president of ISPI Europe Camille Ferond on two topics at their 6th annual conference in Heidelberg, Germany. One presentation was based on his use of case studies in teaching HPT and the preparation of an HPT Casebook with IPT Department Chair, Don Stepich. His other presentation was based on his Sustainable-Organization Performance Evaluation (SOPE) model developed with IPT graduate Liz Johnsen '06 and IPT student Christina Caswell. The SOPE model is the first model of its kind to actively promote a bottom-line balance between environmental, social, and financial considerations when evaluating if performance interventions are successful. Ferond is currently using the model with an Italian theater group and is continuing to develop a case study around it. The conference theme was Dealing with Contrasts in Europe and was held November 1-3. See Photo Album.
