Kapnick Center for Business Institutions "VIP" Award

In honor of Business Institutions professor, Joan Zielinski, the Harvey Kapnick Center for Business Institutions established the Business Institutions ‘VIP’ Award. This award is presented annually to two Business Institutions faculty members.

Professor Zielinski always made students feel at home in her classroom, demonstrating her genuine care for teaching to the best of her ability. She made herself accessible to students both in and out of the classroom, always with a smile. We would like to give our students the opportunity to honor teachers who embody this spirit.

All Business Institutions students are encouraged to fill out this form and nominate a professor who sincerely honors the memory of Joan Zielinski. A minute to pass along a few kind words is all it takes. Two winners will be chosen yearly.

Students may nominate more than one instructor for the award (separate submissions are required).

The winning instructor, along with the student who nominated them, will each receive a $50 gift card for lunch.

Nominations for this award are accepted all year and winners are announced in May of each year.
