TAI student wins two major scholarship awards

Karissa Jobman is the Spring 2013 recipient of two major awards namely the IES Abroad Leadership and Community Involvement Scholarship and the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship.

IES Abroad Leadership and Community Involvement Scholarship is open to students in any major who have demonstrated leadership and/or commitment in such areas as social service, student government, politics, or community development/welfare. The scholarship covers the cost of a student’s overseas study with the IES Abroad Buenos Aires – Latin American Societies and Cultures program for Spring 2013. The IES Abroad Merit-Based Scholarship program is very competitive. In this term alone, approximately 500 applicants competing in 20 different scholarship categories were received and only 12% of applicants received an award.

The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program offers grants for U.S. citizen undergraduate students of limited financial means to pursue academic studies abroad. The Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program is funded through the International Academic Opportunity Act of 2000 and is sponsored by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. During the Spring 2013 application cycle, the Gilman Scholarship Program reviewed more than 2,600 applications for just over 1,000 awards.

The Temerlin Advertising Institute would like to welcome Dr. Marc Weinberger to SMU!  Dr. Weinberger joins Temerlin as an in-residence visiting research faculty member for the duration of the Spring 2013 semester.

Advertising scholar and professor of marketing, Dr. Weinberger comes to us from the Department of Marketing at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, where he served as professor and associate dean for faculty affairs and research in the Isenberg School of Management.

While only here at SMU for the spring, he hopes to share his research, meet new people and collaborate on new projects.

His research and teaching interests include marketing communication, humor in advertising and negative publicity.  Specifically, he is working on humor-appeal projects, measuring the impact of advertising and publicity effects, reputation management and the effects of negative information in the marketplace.

Dr. Weinberger received both a bachelor’s degree and M.B.A. from the University of Massachusetts.  He holds a doctorate in marketing from Arizona State University. His research and teaching experience has spanned over thirty years and we are proud to have him join the TAI team!
