Sam Holloway, a professor in the University of Portland’s Pamplin School of Business, has received the Ascendant Scholar Award from the Western Academy of Management. The award is given to faculty members who have a maximum of 6-7 years’ of experience and are considered “ascendant” through an academic record that includes their areas of research, teaching, and service.
“Sam is representative of the strong research base we have in the Pamplin School of Business,” says Dean Robin Anderson. “It is this research base upon which we build outstanding teaching.”
The award, according to WAM guidelines, takes into account:
- Great research record as evidenced by both the quality and number of articles published
- Great teaching record as evidenced by teaching awards and any other contributions to teaching
- Great service record as evidenced in engaging in professional service, including service to the academy or business
- And a professional trajectory or potential that looks very promising for the future.
We congratulate Sam for this well deserved and outstanding achievement!
