RECENT TEACHING HONORS:

TEACHING FELLOWSHIP: Selected as the 2006-2007 East Carolina University College of Business Teaching Fellow. This competitive Fellowship resulted from peer review of applications with ultimate selection by the Dean. The focus of my application touched on the significance of on-line, WEB-based delivery of education in the business school, particularly to large sections that are emblematic of my course, The Legal Environment of Business (Total of 100-145 students between two sections each semester, including summer school.) The thrust of my Fellowship objectives will be to deliver multiple methods of audio and video delivery of course material suitable for asynchronous consumption by consumer students, including but not limited to: audio recording of lectures in MP3 files suitable for student downloading (including to I-Pods), video streaming of short clips and other slightly lengthier clips designed to enhance the Legal Environment learning experience, extensive work on developing outcomes assessments that foster both critical thinking and writing skills, developing a “sense of community” on the WEB BlackBoard teaching platform environment through development of such inherent capabilities such as Discussion Boards and Group Developed Projects, the incorporation of Distance Education teaching platforms other than BlackBoard where appropriate, and finally, accomplishing all of the foregoing in such a manner so as to conform with developing AACSB-International accreditation standards.

EAST CAROLINA UNIVERSITY 2007 COLLEGE OF BUSINESS COMMERCE CLUB TEACHING EXCELLENCE AWARD: Awarded for “Outstanding Service and Instructions in the Classroom” during the 2006-07 academic year. Awarded at May 2007 College of Business Graduate Recognition Ceremony.

MCGRAW-HILL LEGAL ENVIRONMENT TEXTBOOK SYMPOSIUM: Selected as one of fifteen professors from the US to attend an expenses paid symposium (3 days) in San Diego, CA, by the McGraw-Hill Company to discuss and advise this firm on the formation and development of a contemporary Legal Environment textbook that would compete with those texts offered by the largest corporate competitor in this area.
