MINNEAPOLIS, September 16, 2010 – Daniel Dayton, a PhD candidate at Capella University, an accredited online university* that has built its reputation by providing high quality online degree programs for working adults, was recognized as a 2010 Outstanding Reviewer by the Management Education and Development division of the Academy of Management. Dayton received the honor for contributing quality and insightful feedback to the scholarly articles he reviewed in 2010. The Academy of Management is the oldest and largest scholarly management association in the world for scholars dedicated to creating and disseminating knowledge about management and organizations.
"When being presented with the award, I was told that my reviews are constructive, supportive, thorough, well-researched, and philosophically deeper than the common review," said Dayton. "This is both immensely fulfilling and humbling, as this has allowed me to participate in the process of generating knowledge with some of the scholarly giants in my field by not only listening and absorbing their wisdom, but also by contributing to their streams of thought."
Dayton, who is earning his PhD in Organization and Management, is one of the more than 38,000 students who are pursuing an online degree at Capella University (http://www.capella.edu), with 31 percent enrolled in doctoral degree programs, and 47 percent enrolled in master’s degree programs.
