The Jean C. Brierley Award for Excellence in Teaching, 2023
Peter T.?Paul College?of Business & Economics
Russell Miles, a senior lecturer in the decision sciences department at Paul College, has consistently showcased excellence in his teaching approach, spanning over a decade. His courses cover a wide gamut, from foundational classes like ADMN 580 (Management Information Systems) to specialized electives such as ADMN 845 (Supply Chain Management). Across these diverse subjects, a recurring theme presents itself: His dedication to the holistic development of his students.
An alumnus articulately encapsulates the sentiment many share: “Russell’s support and mentorship has undoubtedly been integral to my post-academic success.” This commitment is further underscored by his impressive development and management of the Paul Projects: Corporate Engagement Program, which goes beyond the classroom and taps into real-world application.
His students, both past and present, are consistent in their praise. One undergraduate captures this essence, noting, “You can tell how much work he puts into his teaching and how much he truly enjoys it. He truly wants his students to succeed.” On the graduate front, a student highlighted the transformative experience, sharing, “This class gave me great knowledge in this area of focus and has sparked great interest for future job endeavors.”
Furthermore, Miles’ commitment to pedagogical evolution stands out. His innovative animated lecture videos, which he generously shares with peers, have become a trademark of his teaching method, as have his ongoing efforts in curriculum development, notably in supply chain management.
