2007 Faculty Pioneers

Judges and Methodology

 

Selection Process

The Center for Business Education team goes through a long and deliberate process to find and select Faculty Pioneers. The process follows this course:

 

Winter

  • Aspen invites representatives from hundreds of MBA programs and NGOs to nominate a Faculty Pioneer. The initial nomination consists of a brief form and the nominee's CV

Spring

  • Faculty nominations are received in early spring
  • Aspen CBE staff and faculty advisors choose the finalists. Nominees are limited to approximately 16 finalists
  • Nominators are invited to submit additional materials in support of finalists. These materials consist of a short biography and a formal letter of recommendation

Summer

  • Aspen CBE selects a panel of corporate judges to carefully review all of the finalists' nomination materials. The judges meet and reach a consensus on the Faculty Pioneer Award Winners based on the criteria laid out in the Award annoucement
  • Winners and their schools are notified, and invited to the Awards Ceremony in New York City

Fall

  • Faculty Pioneers are flown to New York City and honored at Aspen CBE's annual Awards breakfast

 

*NOTE: The European Award winner will be chosen in partnership with EABIS .

The Ashoka winner will be chosen in partnership with Ashoka.

 

Final Round Judges

As in years past, the 2008 Faculty Pioneers will be nominated by their peers and selected from a pool of finalists by a panel of corporate judges that are chosen by Aspen CBE. Last year's corporate judges included:

 

  • Elizabeth Beauvais, International Relations Analyst, ExxonMobile Corporation
