I've talked to a lot of people over the years about their experiences in various doctoral programs around the country and my impression is that FSU is unique. The climate in the Management Department is truly collaborative and supportive. The faculty recognized the students' individuality, supported our choices, and facilitated our success.

Joining the faculty of Stetson's School of Business Administration in 1994, Dr. Forte holds an MBA from the University of Georgia and a Ph.D. from Florida State University. She teaches Principles of Management and Strategic Management courses on the DeLand campus and for nontraditional learners at the Stetson University Center at Celebration. Her research interests include applications of psychological type, organizational politics, experiential learning, and strategic change. She is an active contributor to scholarly conferences and has published articles in the Journal of Psychological Type, the Journal of Management Education, and the Strategic Management Journal. Tenured in 2000, she served as Chair of the Department of Management from 2000 through 2005 and coordinated the Business School's AACSB accreditation maintenance review during 2003-2006.

FSU was the ideal setting in which to foster a strong understanding of the theoretical foundations of our respective fields. The highly qualified, well recognized, and strongly networked faculty was very involved personally in the crafting of the future scholars that we would become. Finally, the culture within the department was nurturing and supportive which helped me to clarify the type of organization that I wanted to be in when I left FSU.

Coming from the Netherlands, my excursion to Florida State University meant quite a life change. It was the most adventurous route I could take and it turned out to be a great experience. They formed the most intense learning moments I have had in my life. The fellow doctoral students have become friends forever, and the faculty members remain the wisest in the world. I am very happy to call many of them my co-authors. I can recommend the program to anyone; though, you better be willing to work like a maniac!
