Michelle Dean

The spring 2008 edition of SDSU’s 360° magazine announced that Assistant Professor of Management, Michelle Dean, is helping the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) with its selection efforts to replace about one-sixth of the air traffic control workforce as controllers hired after the 1981 strike begin to exceed the mandatory age limit.

Dean’s focus on matching the life experiences of applicants with demonstrably successful controllers can help the FAA screen potential controllers efficiently and economically. Applied to other industries, her research could become an important tool in finding the right people for high-stakes jobs.
