Our Plan: Strategic Initiatives
Initiative II: Create the Faculty for Our Future
Follow our progress on this initiative.
The core of our institution is our faculty, for these individuals enable our mission and build the reputation of the school.
We will expand our faculty from 58 to at least 65 within these five years. Our goals are:
- To further strengthen our ability to deliver outstanding learning in all the functional areas of business. We will select experts who are also exceptional teachers.
- To develop and/or enhance our Centers and cross-functional streams (leadership, globalization, entrepreneurship, technology). We will hire both senior faculty who combine strong disciplinary expertise with cross-functional teaching and research, and senior level practitioners.
We anticipate considerable transition in faculty demographics over the next five years. We must hire a few senior faculty capable of building our Centers, as well as more junior research faculty and practitioners with extensive experience. We also need additional faculty with extensive experience and an established reputation who can teach experienced students as we expand our Executive MBA, distance learning, and custom executive education programs. In all our hiring, we need to attract more women and minority candidates in order to achieve our goal of becoming a model of diversity among business schools.
