 Faculty Accolades
Faculty Awards
 |
David Albritton,
assistant professor of management –
Teacher of the Year Award.
"I am very proud of this award," says Albritton,
"especially since I take the teaching part of my job very seriously. In
my Ph.D. program, the focus was entirely on research. It became clear
that I would have to step up and improve my teaching skills to be
successful at NAU.
We have great teachers in the FCB. I have been mentored
by the best, including Joe Anderson, Jon Ozmun, Mary Bowers, and Susan
Williams. I am also motivated to be a good teacher because I enjoy our
students and want their learning experiences to be as positive as
possible. "

Faculty Retirees
 Al Lorents, professor of CIS. Our
students and the university community have benefited tremendously
from the extraordinary contributions Al made throughout his
distinguished career of 37 years at FCB. His leadership of the CIS
area for many years has allowed that area to be known nationally for
the quality of their graduates. The FCB will not be the same without
him.

 Jon
Ozmun, professor of management. Jon has been a faculty member,
administrator, and leader in the FCB for 34 years. His willingness
to be a leader, whether in case research, administration, extra work
with students, or as a sounding board to many deans has been
unparalleled here. We mark the retirement of one of the great
leaders on our campus and a faculty member whose commitment to the
student experience will be very difficult to replace. |
