Faculty Member Receives FACET Award
6/9/2009 (Kelley Indianapolis)
A faculty member of the Kelley School of Business Indianapolis recently joined a distinguished group of Indiana University professors by being named one of 17 people to receive the 2009 Faculty Colloquium on Excellence in Teaching award.
Kenneth EA Wendeln, a clinical associate professor of management in the Kelley School of Business, is one of seven faculty members honored from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.
"Receiving IU's Faculty Colloquium On Excellence in Teaching (FACET) award is a great honor - but one that I must share with my Kelley School of Business and IU colleagues who have encouraged and mentored me in my quest to help students learn and achieve," Wendeln said upon notification of the award.
The 17 new recipients will join a distinguished group of nearly 500 previous award winners inducted over the past 20 years including 371 full-time faculty. The new recipients, along with the 2009 recipient of the P.A. Mack Award for Distinguished Service to Teaching, were honored at the annual FACET retreat held on May 15-17 at the Potawatomi Inn in Angola, Ind.
The FACET award was first presented in 1989 to faculty members who have demonstrated their exceptional commitment to teaching and learning through areas of self-evaluation, course preparation, research, instructional skills and student impact. It is designed to both recognize and enhance outstanding teaching throughout the IU system and to promote continued development of teaching excellence among colleagues at IU and beyond.
“FACET faculty are among the most dedicated faculty focused on teaching and learning, and the big winners are the students in these faculty classes,” said David Malik, director of FACET and vice chancellor of academic affairs at IU Northwest.
Wendeln first joined Kelley Indianapolis as faculty member in 2001 and has been a clinical associate professor since 2004. In addition to his teaching duties, he also provides professional development to students of the Evening MBA Program and sits on several committees including the Center for Teaching and Learning Advisory Board, the IUPUI Program Review and Assessment Committee, and is chair of the IUPUI Values and Ethics Community of Practice.
