Vice Chancellor, Provost and Chief Academic Officer Gretchen Ritter today announced the members of the search committee charged with identifying the next dean of the Whitman School of Management. Associate Dean for Undergraduate and Master’s Education and Professor of Entrepreneurship Alexander McKelvie’s appointment as interim dean will remain in effect until a new dean is identified.

“The Whitman School’s reputation as a leader in business education remains strong among our peers, thanks in large part to the innovation and commitment of its talented faculty,” says Provost Ritter. “The school is poised for continued growth and will no doubt attract a competitive slate of dean candidates given how attractive the role is among higher education influencers. I am grateful to the  members of the search committee for their service to and leadership on behalf of Syracuse University and the Whitman School and look forward to seeing the candidates they put forward.”

The co-chairs of the search committee are Maria Minniti, the Bantle Chair in Entrepreneurship and Public Policy and director of the Institute for an Entrepreneurial Society, and S.P. Raj, Distinguished Professor and chair of marketing and director of the M.S. in marketing program.
