Emin Babakus Receives Distinguished Teaching Award

For release:  March 17, 2011

Professor Emin Babakus, Professor of Marketing in the Department of Marketing and Supply Chain Management, has been announced as a 2011 University of Memphis’ Distinguished Teaching Award recipient. This is outstanding recognition for a gifted instructor, whose student evaluations consistently highlight him as an excellent teacher. Department Chair, Marla Stafford, commented, “His high evaluations are particularly noteworthy given that Dr. Babakus teaches some of the more difficult, quantitative marketing classes that are often feared by the students…. Moreover, despite the challenging nature of these courses, his students complete the classes with considerable enthusiasm and knowledge, along with a new appreciation for marketing research and the value of statistics.” Dr. Babakus joins a long line of winners of the DTA from the FCBE, including Julia Heath in 2010.
