Bellevue University Professor Recognized as 2024 Emerging Scholar at International Conference on Diversity
Dr. Emad Rahim, the Kotouc Family Endowed Professor and Chair of Project Management at Bellevue University, will receive the 2024 Emerging Scholar Award at the 25th International Conference on Diversity in Organizations, Communities and Nations in Cyprus, Greece, June 11-13, 2024.
The Emerging Scholar Award program provides a robust professional development opportunity for award recipients to meet experts in the field, interact with colleagues from other parts of the world, and create networks and lasting connections. Across all formats, Emerging Scholars play a critical role in the conference by leading discussions and chairing parallel sessions and are offered a publication pathway for their research.
Bellevue University President Dr. Mary Hawkins said “We’re proud to see Emad recognized for the positive impact he has on the project management profession and the many communities and networks in which he engages. His inclusive approach to education benefits our learners and the world at large.”
