Established with a personal endowment from Arjang A. Assad, dean of the UB School of Management, the award recognizes the contributions of outstanding faculty members. It is presented biennially to a School of Management faculty member, with preference given to an undergraduate professor who has demonstrated excellence in teaching, leadership and a passion for the profession.
