Ahmad Kareh

In April 2017, I was honored to be awarded by SLCC's Business school for the "Marvelous Employee Recognition" award. Below is the write-up announcing this achievement.

"Ahmad Kareh, Assistant Professor of Marketing Management at Salt Lake Community College, has been selected as the School of Business Marvelous Employee for the month of April.

What makes Ahmad a “Marvelous” employee? Well, here is a list of “Marvelous” things he is doing for his students, department, and for the School of Business! “Ahmad has a passion for his discipline and for his students. He provides service to his department, school, and the college. Even though this is only Ahmad’s 3rd year at Salt Lake Community College, he is recognized by his peers as an innovator in his discipline. He has also worked with several of his peers to collaborate on crossdepartmental projects and curriculum.

Ahmad currently serves as the Collegiate DECA faculty advisor. He prepares students to become leaders in business and to be competitive in their career fields. He has worked diligently on the redesign of key marketing courses for online delivery. He has written and been awarded several Perkins Grants, which have provided professional development opportunities for faculty. He is currently collaborating with faculty members from other departments on an online module that will help student with virtual meetings and collaboration on team projects.

Ahmad recently designed a certificate in Digital Marketing with faculty from Visual Art, Communications, and English. This certificate is currently going through the approval process and will hopefully be available to students very soon. He is also working with the Fashion Design program to help add marketing courses into their curriculum.

Ahmad constantly looks for ways to develop his knowledge in the Marketing disciple as well as in innovative teaching techniques and curriculum design. He is currently taking courses at UC Berkley in online course design and courses at Harvard in Digital Marketing. He has worked closely with the college Curriculum Design teams to make sure his online courses meet the highest standards. He does all of this, while continuing to run his creative marketing agency, Twistlab Marketing” says Barbie Willett, Associate Dean of Management, Marketing, and Legal Studies."
