麦克卡利博士最近公关esented his co-authored paper, “The Impacts of Social Capital on Environmental Behavior: A North Carolina Case Study” (co-authored with Daniel Hall and Christine Cugliari) at the Missouri Valley Economic Association meetings, Kansas City, Missouri. The paper focuses on the idea of people cooperating with each other to protect the natural environment. The theory holds that people who are active in social groups would also be more active in protecting the environment. With the help of HPU’s Survey Research Center, the professors collected information on whether people in North Carolina were actively involved in social organizations such as environmental groups or other nonprofits. The survey also asked about everyday environmental activities, such as recycling. A correlation was found in study participants between social involvement and environmental activity.

Phillips School of Business (PSB) and HPU have benefited from Dr. McCully’s service on the Business Leadership Team, the Professional Growth Committee, the HPU Educational Policies Committee, the Global Studies Committee, the Strategic Planning Committee, the Curriculum Committee, the Tenure and Promotion Standards Committee, and the Graduate Council.
