Matthew Kremer,  present the National Contract Management Association's (NCMA) Contract Management Education Award to GSBPP Dean Dr. Bill Gates, left, in Ingersoll Hall, Aug. 5. The award recognizes universities that exemplify NCMA's mission of advancing the contract management profession through higher education.

"It's great to see GSBPP recognized for its contract management degree programs," said Rendon. "Our contract management faculty are top-notch practitioner scholars and are experts in the contracting field."

GSBPP's core courses are all part of the contract management body of knowledge, Rendon says, allowing faculty to stay up to date on the latest developments in the profession, while also providing direct support to their students' education and research.

"In addition to maintaining currency in the contracting field, our faculty conducts research related to contract management, and publish their research in scholarly journals," said Rendon. "Our contracting faculty also advises our students' thesis research, and encourages our students to publish their own research in journals."

Rendon represented NPS at the NCMA's World Congress, July 27 in Orlando, Florida, where he accepted the prestigious award on behalf of the university's contract management faculty.
