August 22, 2023

Michael D. Caligiuri
Management and Human Resources
Assistant Professor

Michael Caligiuri spent almost 20 years as management in the hotel industry -- 15 of those years moonlighting as an entrepreneur and small business owner -- before pivoting to higher education on a full-time level. While at Pennsylvania State University working toward a Ph.D. in organizational behavior, diversity and inclusion, Caligiuri taught undergraduate courses within the School of Hospitality Management. In his final semester, students rated his performance as an instructor a perfect 7 of 7.

Caligiuri’s research has spanned from diversity and inclusion to employee retention and turnover with funding assistance coming from sources like the Grace M. Henderson Graduate Scholarship, awarded to one Penn State graduate student a year, and the New York University School of Professional Studies’ dean’s office. The NYU dean's scholarship was part of Project Aspire that worked with potential first-generation college bound high school students from the New York/Tri-state area.
