Marketing Professor Dr. Geoffrey T. Stewart wins National Teaching Award

Assistant professor of marketing has been recognized for his innovative teaching methods by the Marketing Management Association (MMA).

Dr. Stewart is one of only 10 marketing professors from across the nation to receive an award this year from the MMA as part of its 6th annual MMA Master Marketing Teaching competition sponsored by Hormel Foods. The competition is designed to acknowledge marketing faculty members who exhibit teaching excellence. Among its goals, the MMA aims to promote professionalism in marketing through excellence in education and training.

Dr. Stewart was nominated for this award based on work we did in partnership with the Town of Delcambre, LA.  The willingness of the Delcambre Steering Committee to allow us into their community provided a learning environment that was both challenging and energizing.  I want to particularly thank those students that worked on this project and, without knowing where we would end up, trusted our process.  Their contributions have already made an impact in Delcambre and in turn have raised the expectations for future MBA students in my courses.”

In Dr. Stewart’s words: “It’s an honor to be nominated by your peers and to be recognized by a national organization that focuses on marketing education.  This award is reflective of the working relationships I have been fortunate to share with my graduate students over the last several years.  Their willingness to rise to the challenge, irrespective of demands and short deadlines, really helped enrich our learning environment.”
