Florida State University’s chapter of the Society for the Advancement of Management (SAM) teams won Chapter of the Year for the third consecutive year.  

The award was one of a handful bestowed upon team members at the SAM national conference in Nashville last month. FSU’s SAM team was comprised entirely of students majoring in commercial entrepreneurship and is housed in the Jim Moran College of Entrepreneurship. 

Evaluation for the Chapter of the Year award is based on local chapters’ accomplishments and work, including service to the community.  

It is a win that speaks to the caliber of students at FSU, said the chapter’s faculty adviser Bob Garner, teaching faculty and entrepreneur in residence at the Moran College.  

“I am just extremely proud of our students,” Garner said. “I think it shows not only the quality of our students but the quality of instruction by our faculty.” 

Three FSU teams competed across three divisions: undergraduate, open and online. In the open division FSU was represented by seniors Antonio Sojos, Chris Jafet and Paige Spizale. In the undergraduate division, seniors Kelsey Pemberton and Kaitlyn Killeen and junior John Jones competed, while the virtual team included juniors Ben Arney, Ashton Herndon and Julian Fernandez.  

The chapter’s awards include:

Open Division

Undergraduate Division

Online Division

Garner was recognized as outstanding Faculty Adviser.
