Sean Hannah, right, receives recognition as a fellow
Sean Hannah, J. Tylee Wilson Chair in Business Ethics and professor of management in the School of Business, has been inducted as a Fellow in the Association for Psychological Science (APS) and the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP).
The APS awards fellow status to members who have made sustained outstanding contributions to the science of psychology in the areas of research, teaching, service, and/or application. The organization’s board of directors named Hannah to the board in May 2018. The group has 33,000 members and selects a limited set of top scholars as fellows annually.
Hannah was also selected as a fellow of the Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP), a professional body of some 7,000 members. SIOP selects about 20 of the world’s top organizational psychology/organizational behavior scholars as fellows each year. They represent top contributors to the range of practice, research, teaching, administration, and service in the field of industrial-organizational psychology. Like APS fellowship, it is a lifelong appointment recognizing a scholar’s contributions to the field across their career.
Hannah is also the senior research associate in the School of Business’s Center for Leadership and Character. Sean is an experienced senior leader with 26 years of experience leading large and complex organizations. His research is published in the premier management and applied psychology journals, which he synthesizes with his practical leadership experience to engage students in the classroom as well as organizations and their practicing leaders to enhance their capabilities.
“Such recognition from major organizational behavior/applied psychology organizations for Sean Hannah’s work is gratifying,” said Michelle Roehm, vice dean for faculty at the School of Business. “His research has had major impacts upon leader and character development, behavioral ethics, crisis leadership and organizational neuroscience.”

Hannah is a leadership scholar and retired U.S. Army colonel. He was formerly the director of the Center for the Army Profession and Ethic (CAPE) at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Hannah will serve as a professor of management and the J. Tylee Wilson Chair in Business Ethics at Wake Forest Schools of Business.
Marketing professor Sheri Bridges announced the establishment of the Bob Fly Business and Enterprise Management Marketing Scholarship. Bob Fly is a veteran advertising executive and has served as a marketing instructor at Wake Forest for 29 years.
Colleagues took time to celebrate the contributions of one of the longest serving faculty members of Wake Forest Schools of Business, Dr. Arun Dewasthali. Deswasthali, who was described as “universally loved and adored by alumni,” is retiring after 37 years of service to the University.
