Fabienne Cadet, Ph. D.

Fabienne Cadet, Ph.D., an associate professor of marketing for the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship, is among this year’s Poets & Quants’ 40 Under 40 MBA professors list.

This is the 11th edition of the annual recognition, which identifies and celebrates the most talented young professors currently teaching in MBA programs around the world. To date, Poets & Quants has highlighted 440 exceptional MBA professors.
Professors on this year’s list come from 36 different business schools — the most of any year prior — including 11 schools outside of the United States. Overall, the publication received more than 1,500 nominations from students, colleagues, administrators, and professors themselves. P&Q’s editorial staff evaluated each nominee on teaching (given a 70% weight) and research (given the remaining 30% weight).
For teaching, P&Q considered the nominations received — both quality and quantity. For example, if P&Q received 100 or more nominations for a professor but there was little substance to the nominations, they weren’t as likely to score as highly as a professor who received a dozen in-depth and thoughtful nominations. We also considered any teaching-related awards.
For research, P&Q looked at the volume and impact of the professor’s scholarly work. To do this, it examined Google Scholar citations as well as major media attention received by the professor and his or her research. Lastly, akin to teaching, P&Qconsidered research awards and grants.
Poets & Quants congratulates each winner in this year’s crop of 40-Under-40 MBA professors. No matter what they study, the courses they teach, or where they work, all are among the most promising young professors tasked with transferring their knowledge and experience to promising young professionals embarking on their careers.

Ben Mrad, with the H. Wayne Huizenga College of Business and Entrepreneurship, was invited by the American Embassy in Tunisia to attend a presentation with Joey Hood, the ambassador to Tunisia at the Tunis Business School at the University of Tunis in Tunisia. The Tunis Business School is a public institution that teaches American business.

“I had the opportunity to attend a presentation about the business school’s curriculum and accreditation, which was both informative and enlightening,” she said.

During her stay, Ben Mrad was able to work closely with Dr. Leila Triki, the dean of the Mediterranean School of Business, as well as the administration and department chairs.

“One of the highlights of my time there was conducting workshops at the school of business with the dedicated faculty members,” she said.

The workshops focused on various aspects of the assurance of learning process, including the development of rubrics, streamlining the process, and collaborative efforts in evaluating assessments to identify areas for improvement.
