Awards And Certifications From April 3

MTU Prof Shares Prof Of The Year Award: Dean Johnson, the James and Delores Trethewey Associate Professor in Michigan Technological University's School of Business and Economics, has been named Professor of the Year by the Presidents Council, State Universities of Michigan. Johnson shares the honor with professors from Michigan State, Saginaw Valley State and Wayne State universities. The four Michigan Professors of the Year were judged on student learning, interactions with graduates, experiential learning, academic advising, undergraduate research opportunities, and scholarship on teaching and learning. In nominating Johnson, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Max Seel was effusive over the business professor's record of advising, teaching, scholarship and devotion to his students. Johnson has previously won the Michigan Tech Distinguished Teaching Award twice -- only the third professor in the history of the University so honored. He is a member of the Michigan Tech Teaching Academy (which recognizes teaching excellence), and has been honored with the James and Delores Trethewey APMP Professorship.
