Each year students at the University of Northern Colorado’s Monfort College of Business pick their favorite professors and honor them at the college’s annual student-sponsored picnic. The ceremony marks the end of the academic year and for many graduating seniors a last opportunity to thank professors who have prepared them for life in the business world.
Professors of the year are voted on by the students, covering each of the college’s program areas, as well as an overall professor of the year. This year’s professors of the year are the following:
Accounting – Lorie Milam
Computer Information Systems – Chris Vegter
Finance – Christine McClatchey
General Business – Keiko Krahnke
Management – Milan Larson
Marketing – James Reardon
Overall – Garth Allen
Professors count this as an important honor from students who consistently give the college high marks for the quality of its undergraduate business program. According to results of annual survey administered by the college, 96 percent of student respondents said the college emphasizes high quality teaching; 96 percent said they would recommend the college to friends or family members.
