Dr. Norm Stafford - Thoughts on Teaching in the MBA Program

Few, if any, of our instructors have taught as many courses in as many subject matter areas as Dr. Norm Stafford (pictured left). Over the course of six years with Centenary College, Dr. Stafford has taught at the graduate and undergraduate levels in both the face-to-face and online formats. His teaching versatility is a byproduct of his impressive educational background (an MBA and two doctorates!) and workplace credentials.

He describes his occupational experience this way: "In 2002 I 'retired' after a long career in the fast paced telecommunications industry. I held a number of executive level Sales and Marketing positions with various well known domestic and international telecommunication companies. My playground was literally the world, and I enjoyed doing business with the many different cultures."

He put the word retired in quotes because he subsequently opened a consulting practice and started teaching with Centenary. As you will garner from the article linked below, teaching, to Dr. Stafford, is an opportunity to give back and help students grow vocationally. As such, Dr. Stafford is a proponent of academic rigor, attention to detail, and having pride in your final work product. So say the students.

Dr. Stafford was kind enough to put together and share his thoughts on teaching in the MBA program. Teaching MBA students, those who will be our future business leaders, is a stewardship and Dr. Stafford's piece demonstrates the weight and joy of that opportunity.
