The award, presented annually, honors individuals for extraordinary contributions and exemplary leadership in scholarship, teaching and research in entrepreneurship that reflects the highest ideals, standards and commitment in support of small, entrepreneurial and family businesses.
It is the latest honor for Mandel. He was ranked as the No. 3 entrepreneurship program director in the nation by his peers in Entrepreneur magazine in 2004 and 2005. He received the Irwin McGraw-Hill Award for Innovation in Entrepreneurial Pedagogy from the Academy of Management in 2001.
Under Mandel’s direction, the entrepreneurship program at Wake Forest’s Babcock School was named a model program by the USASBE for 2003, and has been ranked among the nation’s best in surveys by Entrepreneur and Fortune Small Business.
