The entire faculty at HBS is truly exceptional but each graduating class only gets to recognize two outstanding professors for the RC year and two for the EC year.
The Class Day Committee is pleased to announce that the 2009 Faculty Award Winners are:
-Joseph Lassiter RC Professor of
The Entrepreneurial Manager
-Jan Rivkin RC Professor of Strategy
-David Moss EC Professor of Creating the Modern Financial System
-Noam Wasserman EC Professor of Founder’s Dilemmas: Money and Power in Entrepreneurial Ventures
The winners were selected on the basis of the greatest number of votes relative to the number of students enrolled in their classes. The Class of 2009 voted via online poll in April. The class was asked to apply the following six criteria when voting for faculty members:
-Inspiration: Transfers his or her passion for the subject matter to students
-Knowledge Transfer: Makes difficult course material accessible to all students through clear explanations and demonstrated relevance
-Accessibility: Available to students outside the classroom on a personal and professional basis
-Career Guidance: Helps to identify industry contacts and evaluate potential career options
-Quality of Life: Helps to improve the quality of life on campus
-Feedback: Provides feedback that contributes to professional and personal development.
As first-time winners Professors Lassiter and Wasserman join 24 HBS professors who have received Faculty Awards over the last eleven years.
