First Female Dean Anne P. Massey Joins Isenberg

“We are living in an age of acceleration with the rate of technological change increasing. While the future of work calls for technical skills, it also demands an understanding of the human and ethical sides of management and leadership. This reality poses new opportunities for teaching and learning, research, and outreach”, says Anne Massey. “We must ask ourselves what new programs and platforms will support learners over their careers? And, how can we advance faculty research and collaborations that help develop solutions to real problems?”  

Isenberg’s new dean, who joins the school officially in August 2019, has focused on aligning academic programs with the technical, social and cultural changes happening outside campus walls throughout her career, and she’s excited to join a school where multi-disciplinary programs, industry partnerships, and student-led team projects are already the norm. “Among many opportunities, there is great potential for us to collaborate with other campus units as we seek to meet the needs of learners and the organizations that hire them. We also have opportunities to grow into new areas such as professional development via the Mount Ida Campus”, Massey says.
