Dean's Report

The past year has been eventful and energizing at the Isenberg School of Management, and I’m pleased to share a few highlights of the innovative and cutting-edge work we’ve been doing in this year’s Dean’s Report.

We launched new AI certificates, hosted the Microsoft Excel Collegiate Challenge regional competition, incorporated AR/VR headsets into our career center and coursework, and celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Isenberg Ethics Competition.

Our faculty have been busy as well, innovating in the classroom and producing impactful research that connects our students with the world of practice. We’re so proud to have named seven faculty to titled positions, thanks to donors who understand that supporting our faculty makes us better in every way.

Beyond campus, we engaged with many of our wonderful alumni—for example, PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan ’96MS was the featured speaker at our annual Leaders of Impact event at the beautiful Museum of Fine Arts Boston.

We’re grateful to all members of the Isenberg community—your support, engagement, and collaboration are vital to our efforts to ensure students experience the latest technologies before they enter the workforce. The different sections of the report are accessible via the menu; I hope you enjoy reading about what we have been up to.

Best wishes,
