Cleveland State University is made great by the many faculty and staff who impact our students on a daily basis. The Golden Apple Award is an  initiative sponsored by the Young Alumni Council of the CSU Alumni Association to recognize the outstanding contributions of our dedicated faculty and staff to the lives of students.

Nominations are accepted from alumni who graduated in the past decade. The Monte Ahuja College of Business had three honorees at the second annual event during Homecoming 2015.

The College of Business honorees were:

• Michael Niro, Finance
• Jeff Susbauer, Business Administration
• Nicole Zmij, Operations & Supply Chain Management
