MSU s Bultena wins prestigious professor award

In another life, Charles Bultena was an engineer with a career that took him around the world.
In 1995, he left that 14-year career to teach at Midwestern State University because of a love for teaching and students that grew out of his years of youth and college ministry.
That decision has been rewarded as Bultena, Associate Professor of Management, was named one of 10 Piper Professors, an honor awarded annually to Texas professors for superior teaching at the college level.
“I was shocked and humbled when I got word of the award, especially when I considered our last two recipients at MSU, Mike Collins and Emily LaBeff,” Bultena said.
