Friday, May 30, 2008
Six faculty members were named outstanding educators by the KU School of Business earlier this month. Dennis Rosen, Bill Beedles, Alee Phillips, Wally Meyer, Kelly Welch and Dan Spencer received teaching awards at the School of Business graduation ceremony May 16 at the Lied Center. Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Keith Chauvin presented the awards.
"The faculty members of the School of Business have a long tradition of excellence in teaching, research and service," Chauvin said. "I am proud to report that this tradition continues in the School."
Dennis Rosen, Associate Professor of Marketing, received the Undergraduate Business Council Outstanding Educator Award. Each year, student members of the KU Undergraduate Business Council vote to honor their top undergraduate professor with this award.
Finance Professor Bill Beedles received the Graduate Business Council MBA Outstanding Professor Award. Student members of the Graduate Business Council chose Beedles as their top professor in the MBA program.
Alee Phillips, lecturer in Accounting, received the Beta Gamma Sigma Outstanding Educator Award. Phillips was nominated and elected for this award by student members of the Beta Gamma Sigma honor society.
Wally Meyer, Director of the KU Entrepreneurship Programs, and Kelly Welch, lecturer in Finance, received the Henry A. Bubb Award for Outstanding Teaching. Each year, two faculty members are chosen to receive the Bubb Award based on student evaluations of teaching and a survey of seniors and master's degree students in their last year of course work.
Associate Professor Dan Spencer received the Gordon Fitch Service Award. This annual award recognizes a faculty member who selflessly devotes enormous amounts of energy and heart to students, the School of Business and the University of Kansas. Spencer is also the faculty director of the International Business Resource Connection.
