Teaching Awards

The Paul Merage School of Business boasts a world-class faculty, distinguished in both research and teaching. Our faculty thrives within the personal learning experience made possible by our relatively small class sizes and highly collaborative environment.

enthusiasm for the subject matter and ability to instill the same in students
transfer of knowledge, both theoretical and practical
ability to clearly position subject’s relationship to creating sustained business growth
ability to relate the use of innovation, analytical decision-making, IT and collaborative execution within the subject
skills and tools that help students explore the subject matter further on their own and in the workplace
