Five HBS faculty receive Class of 2023 teaching award honors

Students from the Harvard Business School (HBS) graduating Class of 2023 honored five faculty members with Faculty Teaching Award honors. Tony Mayo, Sophus Reinert, Charlotte Robertson, Tom Nicholas, and Meg Rithmire were recognized for their excellence and dedication to teaching, and for the positive impact they had both in and out of the classroom.

1. Inspiration: transfers passion for the subject matter to students

3. Accessibility: available to students outside the classroom on a personal and professional basis
4. Career Guidance: helps to identify industry contacts and evaluate potential career options
5. Quality of Life: helps to improve the quality of life on campus
6. Feedback: provides feedback that contributes to professional and personal development
