Florida Hold’Em

In the spirit of advancing research, the Executive Board hosts cultural credits regularly in the form of Business Bites, to which students are encouraged to bring a deck of cards, which is meant to symbolize the knowledge gleaned in any time period or semester 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 by the Hatmob Executive Board member (https://stetsonhatmob.com/executive-board/) represents support from your peers during the period, doing the same type of work (e.g., research and course projects) at the same time.

The spring 2026 hands of Florida Hold’em, each with either a 5 of clubs, queen of diamonds, or a queen of clubs as the wildcard executed by a Hatmob Executive Board Member are:

  • A jack of spades, nine of clubs, ten of clubs, 8 of clubs, queen of spades, and *** (SOBA 209 MW 2:30)
  • A seven of hearts, five of clubs, nine of hearts, two of diamonds, four of spades, and *** (ENTP 301-1 M 4)
  • A seven of spades, seven of diamonds, *** ace of spades, and **** (ENTP 301-2 W 4), and
  • A ten of clubs, nine of clubs, 5 of hearts, and *** (MGMT 305 T 6).

Hatmob Portfolio Deck List

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