Central Florida Hold’Em

Business Bites

In the spirit of advancing research, and to support those conducting fieldwork within the Central Florida ecosystem in any semester, the Hatmob provides updates on the research conducted by members of the Executive Board in the form of cultural credit Business Bites, associated with which is a deck of cards, meant to symbolize the knowledge gleaned in a semester, or any designated time period, as follows:

  • the suits of the deck represent the main components of any framework used for empirical research, a course project, etc. (e.g., the suit of hearts represents the ideating phase of design thinking, the clubs represent the experimentation phase),
  • the cards themselves represent empirical research articles cited in any research or course project, with seminal or local works symbolically composing a hand in a game of Florida Hold’em, a play on the real card game of a similar name, and
  • the execution of the deck by any Hatmob Executive Board member (may be required for a course) represents support gained during the period from one’s peers that are doing the same type of work (e.g., research and course projects) at the same time.

In addition to being a symbolic representation of the resources a student is adding to their knowledge base during any semester to advance research during their Stetson experience, by actually “playing” Florida Hold’Em, a simple green card deck is recognized as a Hatmob Portfolio Deck upon the graduation and completion of the requirements of either the Hatmob Executive Board or Fieldwork experiences (i.e., completion of an empirical research project in alliance with faculty).
