Athens State Business Professor Receives Honor from National Organization

ATHENS, Ala. - Athens State University Associate Professor of Business Administration LaDoris Baugh was recently awarded the 2014 Blackboard Catalyst Award for Exemplary Courses for the development of her Financial Management class. Baugh joins a select group of educators and course designers from around the world whose courses have earned the Exemplary Course designation.

“I congratulate Dr. Baugh as this is good news indeed,” states Athens State President Bob Glenn. “It clearly shows the excellence of her work and effort. I am proud of what she has accomplished.”
The Blackboard Catalyst Awards program annually recognizes and honors innovation and excellence in the Blackboard global community of practice, where teachers and learners work every day to redefine what is possible when leveraging technology.

“This award recognizes quality in the coursework initiated from our College of Business,” states Athens State Provost Dr. Ronald R. Cromwell. “It speaks positively of Dr. Baugh’s commitment to students and this distinction will serve the institution well.”

Baugh will be recognized for her achievement at Blackboard’s annual conference that will take place in Las Vegas in July.
