In this episode of The First Day podcast, host Bill Stanczykiewicz welcomes Jaclyn Piatek, Ph.D., professor at UNC Charlotte and co-author of Volunteer Management: A Strategic Approach, to bust the myth that volunteers are just free labor. Piatek lays the groundwork for a new way of thinking about volunteers, not as warm bodies to do the grunt work, but as essential, diverse contributors who require thoughtful management, planning, and engagement. And yes, that includes job descriptions, onboarding, and believe it or not, offboarding too. Strategic volunteerism isn't about saving money. It's about building capacity. Piatek dives into the inequities surrounding volunteerism, noting that folks who are unemployed, lack internet access, or are outside your usual social circles may be less likely to volunteer, not because they don't want to, but because they're not being asked. “The number one reason people volunteer is because they're invited,” she explains, urging nonprofits to cast a wider, more inclusive net. Volunteer roles must also match skills and motivations, whether that's retirees looking to give back, professionals flexing their muscles post-recession, or someone who just really wants to make friends while stuffing envelopes. And let's not forget what's in it for them, volunteering doesn't just benefit nonprofits. Turns out it's great for your health, your social life, and maybe even your blood pressure. Some mental health professionals are literally prescribing it. Nonprofits that understand these benefits can create richer, more engaging experiences that keep volunteers coming back. Engagement, Piatek says, is more than just a smile and a clipboard, it's about making people feel seen, valued, and connected to the mission. And please, for the love of all that is strategic, don't ghost your former volunteers. Keep in touch. Finally, we get into the juicy stuff: fundraising. Can volunteers also be donors? Absolutely, and they're often your biggest champions. Piatek encourages nonprofits to stop underestimating this powerful group. They're not just spreading mulch; they're spreading the word, influencing peers, and yes, potentially writing checks. Volunteers who feel invested, emotionally and strategically, can become some of your most reliable financial supporters. So remember: a well-managed volunteer is not just a helper. They're a mission multiplier.

After months of promises and debate, the 2024 presidential election likely came down to how people felt about the economy.  On this week's podcast, host Tim Boyum talks with two economists about the promises made, and what a Trump presidency might mean for the economy in terms of tariffs, product prices, interest rates, immigration and more. Our guests are N.C. State economist emeritus Dr. Michael Walden and UNC Charlotte economist Dr. John Connaughton.

Dr. Sharon Gaber is the fifth chancellor at UNC Charlotte and is the latest campus CEO to join Higher Ed Athletics for a wide-ranging conversation. The talk begins with Chancellor Gaber explaining the strategic plan that has helped Charlotte inch closer to its goal of being a R1 research university. The conversation turns to cabinet leadership and Dr. Gaber gives advice to aspirational athletic directors that may not fully understand what it means to be the athletic director on a university-wide cabinet. Dr. Gaber shares details on the $70 million football stadium renovation as part of the Evergreen Athletics Facility Master Vision. She also shares how the original plan of phase one was a $60 million renovation until it was decided to add $10 million in institution trust funding to add a cafeteria. Smith asks Chancellor Gaber, who as an academic is an expert in city and regional planning, if they are preparing themselves to join a power conference one day. The conversation quickly turns to a back-and-forth about what the new CFP could mean for Group of Five institutions, too. Dr. Gaber agrees that a modern athletic director role is similar to that of a college president/chancellor, and gives advice to those in or preparing for the modern AD position. The conversation ends with parting advice for aspirational athletic directors from the perspective of a university chancellor and what characteristics are most important.

In this conversation, Steven and I discuss how to actually structure an effective 1:1. Key Points First and foremost, a 1:1 meeting is for the direct report. A set schedule for 1:1's with your team reduces bias by ensuring you connect with everyone, consistently. A loose framework is better than a lock-step agenda. Two approaches help: the manager proposing a core question or listing out topics that the direct report brings. Avoid status update meetings by articulating the purpose of 1:1's and dedicating agenda time (or future meetings) to bigger picture topics. Skip-level 1:1's are valuable for both employees and senior leaders. Avoid undermining another leader by approaching the meeting with the mindset to support the employee, rather than making decisions.

Dr. Faklaris, who leads the Security and Privacy Experience Research Group at the university, shared valuable insights on the intersection of human behavior and security practices.The episode delved into Dr. Faklaris' extensive research on security attitudes and behaviors. She introduced the Security Attitudes (SA) scales, particularly the SA-6 and SA-13, which are tools designed to measure people's security attitudes. These scales provide a reliable and valid means to gauge individuals' perspectives on cybersecurity, which can be critical for organizations looking to enhance their security training programs. By regularly measuring security attitudes before and after training, organizations can assess the effectiveness of their initiatives and identify areas for improvement. Dr. Faklaris emphasized the importance of considering not just attitudes but also social norms and perceived behavioral control when examining security behaviors.A significant portion of the discussion centered around the challenges posed by smishing—phishing attacks conducted via SMS. Dr. Faklaris highlighted that younger people and college students are particularly vulnerable to such attacks. Her research indicates that demographic factors can influence susceptibility to smishing, underscoring the need for targeted awareness campaigns and tailored security measures.The episode also touched on the broader implications of trust and usability in communication systems, with Dr. Faklaris stressing the importance of clear and trustworthy communication channels to prevent user fatigue and mistrust. In addition to her academic endeavors, Dr. Faklaris is spearheading a new cybersecurity clinic at UNC Charlotte. This initiative aims to support local organizations, particularly small businesses and non-profits, by providing them with valuable cybersecurity guidance and services free of charge. The clinic, which will involve student teams working on real-world problems, seeks to bridge the gap between academic research and practical application while fostering community engagement and providing hands-on experience to students.The episode serves as a treasure trove of insights for security leaders and practitioners, offering practical advice on enhancing security training and awareness programs. By leveraging research-backed methods and fostering community partnerships, organizations can better navigate the complex human factors that influence cybersecurity practices. Dr. Faklaris' work serves as a powerful reminder of the critical role human-centered approaches play in building robust and effective security frameworks.Top Questions AddressedHow can you measure security attitudes?What is smishing and why are younger people more vulnerable to it?How can organizations utilize human-centered research to enhance their security training programs?___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:

To be a better manager, maybe it's time to schedule more Zoom meetings? Steven Rogelberg is an organizational psychologist who holds the title of Chancellor's Professor at UNC Charlotte for distinguished national, international, and interdisciplinary contributions. He joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why one-on-one check-ins with employees are proven to increase job performance – and why we avoid them anyway. His book is “Glad We Met: The Art & Science of 1:1 Meetings.”

The Wizard of Oz is deeply ingrained into our culture. While many people can practically recite the 1939 movie, the original source material isn't as well known. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum was published in 1900. There are a lot of theories as to what inspired Baum – but the answer may be who rather than what. Baum's mother-in-law Matilda Joslyn Gage was a groundbreaking writer and activist who could've been in every high school history textbook if she hadn't had a falling out with the leaders of the suffrage movement. But her ideas live on in The Land of Oz. I talk with historian Sally Roesch Wagner and UNC-Charlotte professor Dina Massachi about the politics of gender in Gage's works and Baum's stories. And I talk with therapist Dr. Gita Dorothy Morena who has a very personal connection to the books.
