Frascona Teaching Excellence Award

This annual award presented to one member for Leeds School's award winning faculty was established by the Falkenberg family to honor Dr. Joseph L. Frascona, “who, as both inspired teacher and mentor, encouraged their intellectual development and created a profound, lasting impact on their lives.â€

Bob and Martha Falkenberg are strong proponents of outstanding business education and have demonstrated their support both through commitments to the building fund and Frascona Teaching Excellence Award. As a result their deep appreciation for Professor Joseph Frascona’s dynamic teaching, Bob, his father Robert L. Falkenberg (BS ’51), and sister, Nancy Tuck (BS ’82 Finance), established the Frascona Teaching Excellence Award in 1991 in hopes that future generations of teachers at Leeds School of Business would be encouraged to inspire their students as Professor Frascona inspired them.
