Conversation with Dr. Barrett Hazeltine, a faculty member at Brown University since 1959(!) where he's taught courses in management and engineering. He served a 20 year term as Associate Dean of the College from 1972 to 1992. Among his many achievements, he founded engineering programs in Zambia, Malawi, Botswana, and Zimbabwe.
After winning the senior award for teaching 12(!) consecutive years, Brown renamed it The Barrett Hazeltine Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1985. I had the honor of taking his renowned managerial courses ENGIN 9 and 90 and was one of his teaching assistants during my Brown tenure.
