Why I Teach at SPU

Joanna Poznanska, Professor of International Business

" I teach at SPU because I want to make a difference in the lives of my students. In the words of one of my students, 'I have learned so much from you about economics and life. Your passion for economics is evident. I appreciate your teaching style and how you are able to connect with students.' I want to not only teach my subject but also to convey my passion for learning and goodness in life which comes from moral choices."
