Professor Harris Sondak’s teaching method is simple. Moving beyond sharing his knowledge with students, Sondak aims to help students “consider what they already know from their own experience in new ways.”
And Sondak’s teaching methods are not going unnoticed by students and administrators.
Yesterday, Sondak was honored at a luncheon with the Outstanding Service-Learning Faculty of the Year award.
The award, which is designed to recognize a faculty member for his or her service to the community and hands-on teaching at the U, is given by the Bennion Community Service Center. Students, faculty, community leaders and administrators nominate individuals for the award.
The most popular course Sondak teaches focuses on developing skills to consult for non-profit organizations and assisting organizations in developing sound business practices.
In addition to his time spent at the U, Sondak has held faculty positions at schools including Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, Stanford Graduate School of Business and the International Institute for Management Development at Lausanne, Switzerland.
Presentation of the award will take place Tuesday at Capitol Hill.
