Before becoming full-time, Muller served as an adjunct faculty member.

She recently led the creation and implementation of two new business programs and is involved in developing a competency-based degree option in Business Management. Nominator Dean of Business and Professional Studies Jody Carson wrote: \u201cShe is responsive to requests, checks in on others to make sure they are doing well, and helps whenever needed. Sheila goes above and beyond each day and somehow gets everything done!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Professor of Mathematics Habib Maagoul has also undertaken many leadership roles outside of the classroom. He is currently the <a href=\"https:\/\/necc.edu\/current-students\/academic-centers\/center-for-stem\/\">Mathematics Department<\/a> chair and chair of the Academic Affairs Committee.
