Abstract

This paper explores the importance of developing professionalism attributes among business students and the implementation of a program designed to incentivize professionalism behaviors during undergraduate study at a college of business. The "Professionalism Recognition Program" (PRP) was established as a co-curricular activity to promote, evaluate, recognize and reward professionalism behaviors of students. We also describe the key aspects of the program's development and implementation, noting the key resources and constituencies involved as well as considerations for the adoption of similar programs elsewhere. It is hoped that the lessons learned during our implementation and communicated in this manuscript will help others to successfully develop and implement their own programs to improve the professionalism behaviors of students.
