Rick Ridnour

Rick Ridnour, the Enterprise-Rent-A-Car Professor of Sales in the NIU Department of Marketing, was featured Sept. 11, 2007, by Business Week in its “Favorite Professor” series.

The article appears in a Business Week series in which students are asked about their favorite professors and what makes them special. Enter "Sealing the Deal" in the search box.

“The Department of Marketing, the College of Business and indeed NIU as an institution are fortunate to have dedicated professors such as Rick,” said Tanuja Singh, chair of the Department of Marketing. “For us it is extremely gratifying (although not surprising) to hear such high praise for Rick. He has always been a role model for students, and it reflects in everything he does.”

Ridnour’s commitment to students has been recognized by NIU in the form of numerous teaching awards, including the Presidential Teaching Professorship.
