\"Ä¢¹½´«Ã½<\/a>Jason Williams, EdD, assistant professor of sport business management in the John E. Simon School of Business<\/a> at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½, is a regional recipient of the 2015 ACBSP Teaching Excellence Award. The Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs presents the award to outstanding individuals who exemplify teaching excellence in the classroom.<\/p>\n

Williams was honored at the ACBSP Conference 2015 held in June in Philadelphia, Pa. As a regional recipient, Williams is now a candidate for the organization\u2019s international teaching award.<\/p>\n

\u201cÄ¢¹½´«Ã½ is focused on creating a student-centered sport business management program that features expert faculty, real world learning through business partnerships and internships, and rigorous professional mentoring,\u201d says Williams, who also serves as director of Ä¢¹½´«Ã½’s Rawlings Sport Business Management program<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m honored by this teaching award, and appreciate the attention it brings to our program\u2019s success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams also caught the attention of the St. Louis Cardinals. Several years ago, the Cardinals recognized a need to observe and measure the effectiveness of customer service at the box office on game days. The club reached out to Williams<\/a> and the Rawlings Sports Business Management Program for expert insight.<\/p>\n

Graduates of the Rawlings Sport Business Management program consistently land employment with key professional sports teams and sport business organizations across the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is more important than ever for business programs to produce graduates who are ready to enter the global marketplace,\u201d said Jeffrey Alderman, ACBSP chief executive officer. \u201cACBSP has a mission to develop, promote and recognize best practices that contribute to continuous improvement of business education. Recognition of teaching excellence is one way we achieve this goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
