Turner College accounting professor Charles Boster was a big winner at the 2026 CSU Faculty & Staff Awards Ceremony, taking home the Chappell Graduate Faculty Award. This award recognizes those full-time members of the CSU Graduate Faculty who, in the tradition established by Dr. William “Bill” Chappell, have demonstrated excellence in teaching CSU’s graduate students and have contributed outstanding professional service to the CSU Graduate School, CSU and the Columbus community. Boster's approach to graduate business education relies heavily on classroom examples and cases to encourage student discussion of topics. The goal of this process is to create an active classroom environment where students share insights and assist their peers, as the discussions frequently focus on questions about alternate solution paths. Assessments of learning primarily focus on a group project culminating in a written report and project presentation. Students are encouraged to integrate technology, such as artificial intelligence, spreadsheets, word processors, and presentation software, for more efficient research and communication. In line with continuous improvement approaches, students complete and receive feedback on subsections of the project throughout the semester and are allowed to revise work until the final submission is due. "My goals for the student are quite simple. I want students to gain an understanding of core course concepts to facilitate communication and performance in their futures. While roles in the community and definitions of success differ, I want every student to appreciate the perspective of others and become life-long learners," Boster explained. Turner Business congratulates Professor Boster on this significant achievement.
