Innovation in Teaching Award Presentation
PowerPoint Presentation

The MAACBA Innovation in Teaching Award Review Committee is pleased to announce Dr. Donald Townsend of Saint Joseph’s University has been selected as this year’s awardee. Dr. Townsend’s innovation entitled “The Perfect Pitch – 6 Steps in Today’s Selling Environment” engaged students in a real-world sales and marketing campaign that included having the students directly cold-calling potential customers. The model pioneered by Dr. Townsend has now been adopted for implementation by other institutions. Congratulations to Dr. Townsend and Saint Joseph’s University!

Richard Vogel, MAACBA Member-At-Large and Dean, Farmingdale State College School of Business and Vana Zervanos, 
MAACBA Undergraduate Representative, 2017 Conference Host, and Associate Dean at Haub School of Business at Saint Joseph's University will be presenting the Innovation in Teaching Award to Dr. Townsend. Dr. Townsend will give a short presentation on this new teaching model.

Did COVID Kill Testing for MBA Admissions?
PowerPoint 
Presentation

During quarantine in spring 2020, many business schools either waived, postponed or registered students as non-matriculate in preparation for the 2020 – 2021 academic year.  This session will discuss how and if we plan to utilize testing in MBA admissions for fall 2021.  How does testing affect International students?  How does testing affect the rankings?  Hear the future plans for testing from ETS, GMAC and leadership from Business Schools directly.
