THAT’S WHY I WANT TO TEACH THEM HOW TO THINK, SO


THEY CAN TRANSITION THROUGH THESE CHANGES AND KEEP UP WITH THE MARKETPLACE DEMANDS OF TOMORROW’S WORLD.


In fact, Martinez’s notable expertise and extensive publication made him a prime candidate for the inau- gural group nominated to the Distinguished Professor Program at NGU, a new program aimed at recogniz- ing professors who are leading in their field.


Martinez will serve as the distinguished professor of management for up to three years, during which time he will receive an additional annual stipend and an annual budget for professional development.


Like his fellow participants in the Distinguished Professor Program, he can choose to spend that time- frame designing a project to promote the integration of faith and learning in his department or producing a work of scholarship that contributes to his discipline.


It’s no surprise what Martinez intends to do while in the Distinguished Professor Program. He’ll continue writing, presenting, and publishing scholarly articles on his favorite topic: how to integrate the Christian faith in the business marketplace.


“Te influence I hope I have through my scholarship is helping believers to understand that there’s no separation between their business life and follow- ing Christ. Everything we do is an extension of our ministry,” Martinez explains. “And at NGU, I hope to bring that same perspective — so that we can begin thinking about what it means to represent Christ better and better every day in what we do.”
