Teaching Talents earn business professor prestigious award
Marketing Prof receives “Leaders in Management Education” award
November 15, 2004
Peggy Cunningham’s dedication as an innovative educator has earned her a major teaching award from PricewaterhouseCoopers. The School of Business professor was named the recipient of the 2004 Leaders in Management Education award for the Ontario region. She was honoured at a campus reception last week, attended by faculty, staff, students and former students. The Leaders in Management Education (LIME) awards are sponsored by PricewaterhouseCoopers and Canadian Business magazine. The awards are granted in four regions across Canada. They recognize faculty who have exhibited exceptional performance as classroom teachers and who, through their other professional activities, have helped to improve the practice of management in Canadian organizations. “In the past, we have brought winners from across Canada to a single national reception in Toronto,” says Wayne McFarlane, leader, human capital, with PricewaterhouseCoopers in Canada. “This year, we decided to come to you to host receptions at each of our regional award winner’s schools. We wanted to be where our winner’s work, where their contributions are first felt.” A 15-year member of the business school, Dr. Cunningham has distinguished herself as an innovative and award winning educator, contributing to management education in Canada and internationally. She has served as a visiting professor in France, England, Germany and China. Dr. Cunningham has pioneered the development and promotion of course material in the area of business and marketing ethics and was instrumental in offering the first such course at Queen’s in the early 1990’s. More recently, Dr. Cunningham has acted as the founding director of the new Queen’s Accelerated MBA for Business Graduates, taking the program from concept to launch.
