Interim Dean's Message

As we prepare the Baker School of Business for the transition in leadership to our new dean at the end of June, I realize that it has been a challenging, yet enjoyable seven months. Taking over as interim dean allowed me the opportunity to step out of my faculty role and back into the role of an administrator. While there are certain aspects of being “the dean” that are extremely enjoyable — long-term strategic planning, meeting alumni and potential donors, and working with a great administrative team — I am really looking forward to getting back in the classroom and doing what I love most, teaching.

So many people have pitched in to help move our school forward during the transition. In addition to having our next Dean join us at the end of next month, we have hired five new tenure-track faculty who will join us in August.
