2025 Lam-Larsen Distinguished Teaching Professorship Awards

Four Lam Family College of Business faculty members are recognized for their long and distinguished record of outstanding and high-impact teaching and mentoring with our bi-annual Lam-Larsen Distinguished Teaching Professorship Awards for 2025-2027 – Management Professor Sally Baack, Economics Professor Venoo Kakar, Management Professor Eric Lamm, and Decision Sciences Professor Julia Miyaoka!

Funded by the Lam-Larsen Global Innovation Fund, the Distinguished Teaching Professorship Awards recognize faculty not only for excellent teaching but also for innovative instruction and significant contributions to improving the curriculum in our college. Each awardee receives a $10,000 annual stipend for two years and mentors another faculty member each award year.

Join us in congratulating these three award recipients for 2025-2027!
