Faculty Member Named Student Supervisor of the Year
5/26/2009 (Kelley Indianapolis)
Jane Lambert, executive director of academic programs for the Kelley School of Business Indianapolis, has been named 2009 Student Supervisor of the Year for the campus of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.
“It was a privilege to receive this award and to be nominated by Madeleine Witt, my teaching assistant. I stand in very good company because the other supervisors who were nominated are an outstanding group of IUPUI faculty and staff,” said Lambert, who also serves as a senior lecturer in accounting at Kelley Indianapolis.
Witt said she chose to nominate Lambert because she embodies what it means to be a leader, goes beyond what is necessary in her investment in students and never forgets to laugh.
“Jane Lambert wears many hats at the Kelley School of Business: professor, boss, advisor and friend,” Witt wrote in her nomination letter. “But what means the most, and what has impacted me the most, is how she leads. She gives her employees every tool necessary and every opportunity to succeed. But, most of all she leads by example.”
Witt has worked alongside Lambert for two years. During that time, Lambert has provided her not only employment but sound advice and unwavering support as she pursues her career goal of auditing, she said.
The Student Supervisor of the Year Award is designed to recognize outstanding student supervisors and their contributions to student employees. Lambert was honored at a recent reception at the Campus Center.
