Major Accomplishments: In 2011, Dr. Puia was named a Distinguished Fellow of the Academy for Global Business Advancement, a life achievement award in recognition of his contributions worldwide to the advancement of knowledge in his field. Closer to home but an equal point of pride for Puia, is his role in assisting two recent SVSU honor students publish articles in leading international journals.
Passion: “I love field-based learning for our students, especially overseas. It is hard to overestimate the learning that occurs when students meet with executives and entrepreneurs in foreign settings. In the past few years, we have taken students to China, India, Russia, Eastern Europe, and Chile – all great places to learn business.”
