Leigh Receives Peter J. Frost Mentoring Award

The Management and Organizational Behavior Teaching Society honored Jennifer S. A. Leigh, professor in the School of Business and Leadership, with the Peter J. Frost Mentoring Award for 2019, at their annual conference held last week.

The Peter J. Frost Mentoring Award acknowledges individuals who are distinguished as gifted teachers and scholars and who unselfishly impart these gifts through mentoring students, colleagues and associates. This annual award recognizes the energy and dedication of a mentor who, through his/her willingness to provide advice, guidance, friendship and a supportive ear, furthers the development of current and future teachers, scholars and mentors in the field of management and management education. The award honors the memory of Peter Frost, who showed outstanding leadership as the Society’s first Executive Director and first OB-1, who made many contributions to good teaching and scholarship in the organizational sciences. Most importantly, this award demonstrates both the Society’s deep respect for an extraordinary mentor and the value that it places on the role of mentoring in good teaching and learning.
