Sautter is N.M. Professor of the Year
Sautter
Elise "Pookie" Sautter, a professor of marketing, was selected as the 2005 New Mexico Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.

The U.S. Professors of the Year program salutes the most outstanding undergraduate instructors in the country - those who excel as teachers and influence the lives and careers of their students. It is recognized as one of the most prestigious awards honoring professors.

To win professor of the year was a surprise to Sautter, but finding out what her colleagues and former students thought about her and her work was "the bonus, the icing on the cake," she said. The award process requires letters of support from students and/or faculty.

"Unmistakably Pookie," one former student wrote of Sautter's classroom environment. "It encourages you to reach beyond the status quo, be creative, take a few gambles and walk away a better person for having learned from your success or lack thereof."

"Dr. Sautter is dedicated to undergraduate teaching and the personal and professional development of our students, and her success serves as a constant source of praise, pride and acclaim," said Garrey Carruthers, dean of the College of Business. "She constantly seeks new ways to spark greater student enthusiasm for the learning process, and is never afraid to take personal risks when attempting to gain quality undergraduate student learning."
