Seven members of Cambridge Judge Business School’s faculty were awarded Teaching Prizes on 15 June in recognition for their teaching excellence in a variety of the School’s programmes.
“Our teaching awards are a very important reflection of a really important part of our work,” Dean Christoph Loch said in announcing the awards. “Teaching awards are an excellent way of recognising some of the great, great work our faculty is doing.”
These are the seven members of faculty honoured, along with excerpts of remarks prepared by Christoph including some comment from participants in the honourees’ classes:
- Geoff Meeks, Emeritus Professor of Financial Accounting, for his teaching on the Executive Education programme: “A wonderful pedagogue who makes accounting light up the room.”

- Gishan Dissanaike, Adam Smith Professor of Corporate Governance, for MBA teaching: “Gishan is an icon on the MBA programme, teaching the MBA Corporate Finance class for over 20 years. Yet neither Gishan, nor his materials, show any signs of tiring.”
