YPSILANTI — The Association for Operations Management has selected Eastern Michigan University’s Nesa Wu for the 2009 faculty mentor award. APICS (Advancing Productivity, Innovation, and Competitive Success) presents the mentor award to a faculty member who has demonstrated outstanding efforts in mentoring students at student APICS chapters.
Wu, professor, Computer Information Systems, College of Business, will receive the award during the 2009 APICS International Conference October 4-6 in Toronto, Ontario. This is the second time she has won the award from APICS (apics.org).
“It’s a great honor,” Wu said. “It recognizes that I care about students and will do everything possible to make them professionals in their field. I am grateful for the students, faculty and board members who supported me and nominated me for the award.”
