As a professor of accounting, Albert Spencer introduces confidence, a readiness to cope with challenges in school, life, the work place environment, and a desire for life-long learning in the students he comes into contact with.

He believes in using cross discipline in his teachings and that no one discipline can stand alone.

A student commented, "One thing that really impressed me about Al Spencer was when we expressed our confusion on a test question. He thanked us for sharing and said that the feedback will help improve his teaching method."

The Regents’ Medal for Excellence in Teaching is awarded by the Board of Regents as tribute to faculty members who exhibit an extraordinary level of subject mastery and scholarship, teaching effectiveness and creativity and personal values that benefit students. The board also awards the Regents’ Medal for Excellence in Research.
