MBA Candidate Receives King-Mertz Award of Excellence
The School of Business is proud to announce that Mr. Luel Tekle, MBA candidate, has been named the 2011 winner of the King-Mertz Award of Excellence in the Lumpkin College of Business and Applied Sciences.

It is the second-highest form of recognition for a research/creative activity project at Eastern Illinois University. The award was established by representatives of the Council on Graduate Studies in 2009, and it has been funded through a generous gift from Nancie King Mertz, a graduate of the Master of Arts in Art program and a recipient of the Distinguished Graduate Alumni Award.
