TRANSCRIPT
Welcome back to another exciting semester for CSIOP! We hope everyone had
a restful break and have enjoyed a great start to the Spring semester!
We’ve got several exciting events coming up this semester, including guest
speakers, workshops to boost our statistical analysis skills, and a little friendly
competition with HFES in Basketball and Bowling. We hope you take advantage
of these great opportunities that your CSIOP officers have planned. We’re espe-
cially looking forward to the SIOP reception in Anaheim. Be sure to check out
information on our Clemson reception and when our current students, faculty,

We’re looking forward to a great semester, and as always, we welcome your
thoughtful feedback on how we can best serve our CSIOP members!

Meet Gargi Sawhney
Gargi will be joining Clemson from Old Dominion University, Norfolk VA, where she has been pursuing her doctoral studies. Her research interests fall within the realm of Occupational Safety and Health. She has been involved in research that spans across addressing theoretical and methodological issues in safety research. She is particularly interested in examining the roles of person– and situation– related factors on safety performance and work-family conflict. She is most excited to be a part of one of the finest Occupational Health Psychology programs in the country and looks forward to expanding her research to investigate stigma related to treatment seeking in military personnel, as well as exploring resiliency across high-risk indus-tries. She also looks forward to hiking the trails and visiting national parks in and around the Clemson area. Fun Fact: Being a nature enthusiast, she went on several safaris while living in Zimbabwe. One of the most exciting moments was during a walking safari, when she came across two lionesses and a lion just meters away!

Check out what I/O students did during their internships last summer!
Brooke Allison, TIAA-CREF, Charlotte, NC Intern, Organizational Effectiveness & Development
TIAA-CREF is a Fortune 100 financial services organization known broadly for its retirement products; TIAA-CREF’s
mission is to ensure those in higher education and medical industries (i.e., “those who serve
others”) can retire comfortably. As an intern on the Organizational Effectiveness & Develop-
ment team, I supported the company-wide engagement survey effort by providing an analysis
of each business area’s results for company executives and helped train employees how to
read and interpret data. This may have been my favorite aspect of the internship. In addition, I
was tasked with understanding best practices for managing the administrations of several em-
ployee surveys throughout the year and collaborated with I-O psychologists from Google,
NASA, Federal Management Partners, Walmart, Marriott, and Bank of America in order to pro-
pose recommendations for TIAA-CREF. Another project included assisting with the pilot of a new team effectiveness
program, in which teams assess, and provide feedback to, their members and leaders in order identify strengths and
areas of opportunity. Working with TIAA-CREF has been a wonderful experience, and I am very grateful to be sur-
rounded by professionals with an I-O background when I’m there.
Theresa Atkinson, ConAgra Foods, Omaha, NE
Intern, Talent Analytics
This past summer, I served as the Talent Analytics Intern at ConAgra Foods in Omaha, NE.
ConAgra Foods makes packaged food products under various brand names (e.g., Swiss
Miss, Reddi Wip, Healthy Choice, Orville Redenbacher, Chef Boyardee, Hunt's), and, until
recently, also produced many store brand food products. As the Talent Analytics Intern, I was responsible for leading
two projects related to retention and employee engagement at ConAgra Foods. Not only were my projects extremely
valuable learning experiences, but they also helped to answer questions posed by senior leaders in the company. I
was fortunate to be able to work with other I-O psychologists, as the Talent Analytics team is composed of four individ-
uals with advanced degrees in I-O psychology. Overall, I had an absolutely wonderful time during my internship.
Alice Brawley, ACT, Inc., Iowa City, IA
Intern, Workforce Research
ACT, Inc., is a nonprofit organization that is strongly driven by its mission to help people achieve education and work-
place success. Though ACT is known most widely for its namesake college readiness assessment, ACT has designed
a wide array of assessments that provide insights to multiple stakeholders (e.g., students, schools) across the com-
plete Kindergarten through Career (K-Career) continuum. My work at ACT was with
ACT's Workforce Research team, where I analyzed data from over 20,000 job analyses'
worth of ACT WorkKeys® skill requirements. My project identified whether the meaning of
skill importance varied across the different skills and job types. This project was an awesome experience in working
with very big, very real data and delivering results relevant to current organizational initiatives. While my core work
was done with other I-O psychologists at ACT, I also had the opportunity to work alongside researchers from many
other disciplines, such as education and psychometrics. Topping off an awesome experience and true to their mission,
ACT also provided the 24 interns a paid day off to volunteer at a local Habitat for Humanity build site.

Deanna Burns - Pilot Flying J, Knoxville, TN
Intern, Talent Management
My internship with Pilot Flying J was challenging, eye-opening, and reward-ing. I was an intern for the Talent Management division of the Human Resource team. PFJ is going through a slight cultural shift to be more focused on their people and customers. Because of this, it was a great time to work on some core HR functions that provided a basis for the shift. During my time there, I worked on competency modeling, job analysis, data-driven results, and succession planning. For the job analysis, I was the lead manager on the project and did everything from coordinating meetings to conduct-ing the job interviews to preparing documents for the senior leadership team. Overall, my internship with PFJ was a great opportunity.
Kandice Goguen, Walt Disney Movie Studios, Burbank, CA
Intern, HRBP
My summer in Los Angeles was exciting, challenging, and extremely fulfilling. The Walt Disney Movie Stu-
dios is 1 of 6 segments in the Walt Disney Company, and is comprised of Live Action productions, as well
as Disney Animation, Pixar, Marvel, LucasFilm, ABC Television, Disney Theatrical Group, Disney Music
Group, Disney Toon Studios, and the El Capatain Theater. As a HRBP, I worked an array of projects and
collaborated with business leaders across a multitude of departments. During
my time, I assisted with survey design, data collection, and analysis of re-
sults. I developed and delivered presentations, paired with Learning and De-
velopment and SME’s to develop customized trainings, and assisted with
annual talent planning processes. I also worked closely with Senior Leaders
in Technology to help design, organize, and justify a major Staffing Strategy.
Furthermore, the extras, such as scheduled meetings, speakers, and addi-
tional events largely contributed to what was a very insightful and invaluable experience.
Alec Munc, Johnson & Johnson, New Brunswick, NJ
Intern, Organizational Analytics
During the summer (and currently) I intern at Johnson & Johnson on
the organizational analytics team. Johnson and Johnson is the largest
integrated healthcare company in the world and with its corporate
headquarters in New Jersey. During my tenure I have worked on a variety of projects aimed at producing
business insights. I am currently the lead on a study looking at the effectiveness of an organizational well-
ness program. I also provide research insights about I/O topics such as organizational commitment and
turnover models for business leaders.
Stephen Robertson, The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, MD
Intern, Organizational Development
This past summer I interned at Johns Hopkins APL which while affiliated with JHU, is an independent la-
boratory that works on various sponsored programs for the Department of Defense, NASA, and other gov-
ernment/military organizations. I was placed into their HR to work on various
projects. I analyzed their employee Work Environment survey, conducted ad-
verse impact analyses for leadership hiring, and worked with their employment
team to help improve their hiring processes. Additionally, I was tasked with in-
forming and teaching their HR department about the practices of I-O psychology
with the goal of helping them figure out how to best utilize what I-O psychology has to offer the HR prac-
tices of a large organization. Currently, I’m working on developing a personality measure for their applica-
tion process. This internship allowed me gain hands-on experience, and it was a good experience.
