If you were to look inside the classrooms at Baylor, you\u2019d quickly see some of the nation\u2019s best professors teaching and mentoring future Baylor alums.<\/p>\n
Already this fall, two Baylor professors have been\u00a0recognized for excellence in working with students in their disciplines. Dr. Wade Rowatt<\/a>, professor of psychology and neuroscience, and\u00a0Dr. Andrea Dixon<\/a>, associate professor of marketing,\u00a0each\u00a0received awards for their work with Baylor students from the top organizations in their fields.<\/p>\n Dixon (pictured at right) received the 2014 Excellence in Teaching Award<\/a> from the American Marketing Association<\/a>, recognizing her contributions for knowledge creation and her excellence in sales teaching. This top honor is not her first award; she\u2019s been honored for her teaching by Baylor, the Sales Education Foundation, the Academy of Marketing Science, and numerous other organizations. A professor in Baylor’s Hankamer School of Business since 2009, Dixon also serves as executive director for both\u00a0the\u00a0Center for Professional Selling<\/a>\u00a0and the Keller Center for Research<\/a>.<\/p>\n Drs. Rowatt and Dixon are just the two latest examples of Baylor professors who are leaders in their field nationally, and who teach students every day to go out and follow in their footsteps.<\/p>\n Sic \u2019em, Dr. Rowatt\u00a0and Dr. Dixon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you were to look inside the classrooms at Baylor, you\u2019d quickly see some of the nation\u2019s best professors teaching and mentoring future Baylor alums.

Rowatt (pictured above) was awarded a\u00a0national mentoring award<\/a> by the American Psychological Association<\/a>,\u00a0recognizing his contribution to the psychology of religion through mentoring individuals who have become active in the field. Since joining the Baylor faculty in 1997,\u00a0Rowatt’s\u00a0focus on the study of behavioral and relationship traits like humility, prejudice and deception has inspired numerous students to go into the field and advance the study of psychology.<\/p>\n
