Corey Liberman has specific interests in understanding how communication affects, and is affected by, membership in organizational social networks. Specifically, he studies issues of social influence and how this comes to affect such things as employee commitment, employee satisfaction, knowledge management practices, employee socialization, and employee identification. He has presented over 25 papers at national, regional, and local conferences (three of which won a “Top Paper Award”), and is co-author of an upcoming book chapter entitled “Networking smart: How social ties can create and impact opportunities.” Prior to coming to Marymount Manhattan College, Corey was an Assistant Instructor in the Department of Communication at Rutgers University where he taught courses in basic communication, interpersonal communication, small group communication, and organizational communication. Corey received the 2007 Teaching Award from the International Communication Association and the 2005 Teaching Assistant Award from the Department of Communication at Rutgers University.
