PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas (October 11, 2021) – Prairie View A&M University has had the good fortune of a faculty member deeply embedded in the Association of Collegiate Marketing Educators for many years, and this year, ACME honored Kishwar Joonas, Ph.D., associate professor in the College of Business at PVAMU, as its 2021 Outstanding Educator. Joonas has been a past president of ACME and treasurer for three years.
ACME, an associate of the Federation of Business Disciplines, is a professional marketing organization founded “to encourage exploration and development of superior marketing practices from academic and practitioner perspectives.” The Association conferred the prestigious 2021 ACME Outstanding Educator Award to Joonas during its virtual 48th Annual Conference.
According to a letter from ACME President Mel Zuberi, “This award recognizes an individual who demonstrates excellence in teaching, research, and service, and serves as a leader and mentor to others in marketing education. In her acceptance speech, Joonas focused on the need to embrace change and help others.
Citing M.K. Gandhi’s famous quote, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others,” she spoke to her own growth through serving ACME and invited upcoming researchers to follow a similar path of self-discovery.
Earlier this year, Joonas was honored with the Association of Indian Management Scholars’ prestigious Outstanding Woman Management Researcher Award. Click here to read more about the award.
