The winner of the 2026 MCC Teaching Excellence Award is Dr. George Cashman, professor of finance and Robert Bernard Bell, Sr. Chair in Real Estate in the College of Business Administration. In REAL 3001, a Discovery-tier course in the Individuals and Communities theme, Dr. Cashman uses commercial real estate as a framework for examining how individual incentives, institutional rules and history shape communities and lived experience. The course introduces foundational analytical tools — such as valuation, risk assessment and market analysis — while integrating the Marquette Core Curriculum’s emphasis on ethical reasoning.
