Dr. Angela Miles is the recipient of the 2008 Junior Faculty Outstanding Teaching Award for the School of Business and Economics.    According to Dr. Miles, " teaching involves listening to students; adapting to change and student needs; and finally, guiding, encouraging, coaching and redirecting when necessary".    She views learning as an expansion of the mind and she strives to create an environment that allows students to conceptualize and solve problems, while probing various alternatives.    Her classroom is an organizational setting, and the students are members of the organization.
