2025 Williams-Qualls-Spratlen (WQS) Award

Ends on

This award recognizes world class marketing scholars and mentors of color, while carrying on the legacy of the late Jerome Williams, Bill Qualls, and Thaddeus Spratlen. The award will be given to a marketing professor who has made research contributions such as publications in leading journals and who has made teaching contributions as a mentor to students and professors of color from underrepresented groups in the field of marketing, particularly students and professors who are African American, Hispanic, and Native American.

It is anticipated that the award recipient will have had a sustained career commitment to mentoring, a significant positive impact on their mentees’ careers, and through their mentees have advanced research and education on issues where racial, ethnic, and cultural diversity intersect with the discipline and practice of marketing.
