UAS faculty member receives 2016 ACBSP Teaching Excellence Award

Dr. Charla Brown, Assistant Professor of Human Resource Management at the University of Alaska Southeast, has been named a regional recipient of the 2016 ACBSP Teaching Excellence Award. The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs recognizes individuals each year who exemplify teaching excellence in the classroom.

Brown will be honored, along with other regional recipients, at ACBSP Annual Conference 2016, June 17-20 in Atlanta, Georgia. She will receive a medallion and a $250 check. Two International Teaching Excellence Award recipients will be announced at a special Salute to Regions luncheon, one from a baccalaureate/graduate degree-granting institution and one from an associate degree-granting institution. As a regional recipient, Dr. Brown is now a candidate for the international award.

“Dr. Brown has extensive experience in the human resource management field that she utilizes in her courses to provide students the knowledge they need to move into more challenging careers,” Vickie Williams, who is the Dean of the School of Management at the University of Alaska Southeast, said. “I have heard from several students how they have been able to apply the knowledge learned in Dr. Brown’s class at their current job and for some it has meant a promotion or opportunity to work on projects.”
