The Faculty of Business is pleased to present Departmental Awards in Teaching Excellence to Karen Ludwig and Suzanne Tucker.
Award nominees show leadership, demonstrate creativity and innovation and create positive learning environments for students to excel.
Karen Ludwig has a great passion for teaching, impact on student learning, knowledge and creativity which is why she was chosen by her students to receive the award. She demonstrates an unwavering commitment to incorporating active student learning and real-world activities in all of her classes; they are learning first hand what it is like to work in the real world.
She joined us in 2007 teaching as a part time instructor in the International Business Stream of the MBA Program. She designed and delivered 8-week modules on International Trade Management. She also worked at designing, developing and delivering curriculum for online courses at the Masters of Education Program in Fredericton.

Karen is currently working on her PhD in Education Studies through UNB. She received her Masters of Ed Adult Education from UNB and her Master of Arts, Sociology and BBA from the University of Guelph.
Suzanne Tucker takes a very strong interest in her students' successes and strives to make the learning experience relevant. Her practical work experience, combined with her education, enables her to bring the practical perspective to the classroom. Her learning approach has always been one of a problem solving mentality, decoding theories and concepts with others.
She has been a stipend instructor in Accounting with the Faculty of Business since 2004. Suzanne received her BBA and MBA from UNB and her CMA in 2002. In addition, Suzanne has a rich work history beginning with IOL as Accountant Supervisor, then with Bell Aliant as Manager of Financial Analysis/Controller.
