Dr. Lise Heroux
SUNY Distinguished Service Professor
Dr. Lise Heroux has taught at SUNY Plattsburgh since 1987. Her courses incorporate hands-on experience to integrate the course content and apply it in real-world situations. Procurement students search for products and supply solutions for real clients and not-for-profit organizations. International marketing students conduct observational research in the tourism industry on both sides of the Canada–U.S. border. These service learning experiences benefit students in many ways: students link what they learn in the classroom with applications in companies, gain confidence in their marketing skills, and build up their resumes and portfolios. Students are also encouraged to do internships to explore potential marketing careers and gain valuable work experience.
Dr. Heroux believes that SUNY Plattsburgh offers many opportunities for students to get a superior business education, and that students who avail themselves of these opportunities will be very marketable when they graduate.
Dr. Heroux is the recipient of the Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching (’98) and Outstanding Teaching through Service Learning Award (’03), was promoted to the rank of Professor in 2002, and to the rank of SUNY Distinguished Service Professor in 2016.
