Mark Herrmann receives Bullock Prize
August 28, 2019
The University of Alaska Foundation has selected Mark Herrmann as recipient of the 2019 Edith R. Bullock Prize for Excellence. Herrmann is dean of UAF’s School of Management and a faculty member for more than 25 years. The Edith R. Bullock Prize for Excellence is the Foundation’s most prestigious award.
Herrmann’s affiliation with the university dates back to 1991, when he was hired as an assistant professor with the Economics Department at UAF. Under his leadership, the School of Management has increased revenue and reduced costs all while improving the student experience, increasing enrollment and graduation rates, and expanding community outreach. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International has continually simultaneously accredited both the UAF School of Management and its accounting program. This distinction has been achieved by just 182 universities worldwide.
Herrmann will receive an award for his contributions to the university from the UA Foundation, thanks to a gift from Edith Bullock. Bullock’s 30 years of service to the university included serving on the Board of Regents and the Foundation Board of Trustees. The UA Foundation, a nonprofit 501(c)(3), raises, manages and stewards private donations for the benefit of the University of Alaska.
