Four Rockford College students presented papers at the 2009 International Conference on the Global Financial Crises held at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas June 4-6.  The papers were a product of the research they did during their Human Resources Management course last semester.

• Amber Bianchi & Jenifer Ylvisaker, “The Impact of the Global Economic Crisis on the Provision of Equal Employment Opportunity and a Safe Workplace.”
• Ryan J. Bell, “Has the Global Economic Crisis Influenced Trends in Human Resource Management?”
