Open Meeting for the LSB Dean's Search

GBPSupportandRecords@scu.edu (Academic Support and Records) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 04:13:04 PST

Dear Leavey School of Business students,

As you probably know, the search for the next LSB Dean has begun. The Provost has appointed a committee of seven faculty members (five from the LSB) and two external members (one from the Board of Trustees and one from the Board of Fellows). Over the summer, the committee will start identifying candidates and refining the set of attributes we would like our next Dean to possess.

Before we disperse for the summer, the committee would like to invite you to an open meeting to discuss your views regarding essential characteristics of the next Dean, challenges facing the LSB, and things that make the LSB an exciting place that is attractive to candidates. I will also be happy to answer any of your questions about the search process.

When: Tuesday, June 10, 7 pm to 8 pm
Where: Transamerica Room, St. Joseph's Hall

If you aren't able to attend this meeting, but would like to provide some input on these topics, or wish to nominate someone for the position, please feel free to contact me at sstarbird@scu.edu or 408-554-4148.

I am looking forward to working with all of you to find a new leader for the LSB.

Best,
Drew Starbird
Chair, LSB Dean Search Committee
Professor of OMIS
Faculty Director, LSB Undergraduate Business Programs
