The College of Business
Administration at San Diego State University (SDSU)
announced today assistant management professor, Dr. Martina Musteen, has
been named the recipient of the Olympus 2008 Emerging Educational Leader
Award. Musteen recently accepted the award at the 12th
Annual Meeting of the National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators
Alliance (NCIIA) held in Dallas, Texas on March 21, 2008.
Now in its fourth year, the Olympus
Innovation Award Program recognizes individuals who have
demonstrated innovative thinking in higher education.
Musteen was recognized for her dynamic teaching approach and her
motivational classroom style for students studying global
entrepreneurship. She is credited with developing the very popular
international entrepreneurship course that she currently teaches at SDSU
and she has been instrumental in paving the way for those students
seeking work to become global entrepreneurs.
“To be honored for doing something that I love
to do is incredibly gratifying,” said Musteen,
who was nominated for the award by one of her students. “More
and more, we are seeing that entrepreneurship can contribute to solving
global problems – poverty and climate change,
for example – so my objective with every
lesson plan is to inspire students to make a positive difference in the
world through their entrepreneurial activities.”
