It is
with very mixed emotions that I write my last Dean’s Column for the
Dean’s Quarterly Report of The W. A. Franke College of Business. On June 30 I will
end my seven year term as Dean, and I will be moving to another
position here at Northern Arizona University. In my new role as vice
president for University Advancement I will continue to work to
bring resources to the college, but will also have responsibility
for overall fundraising at the University level, among other duties.
I have been blessed over the last seven years to get to know many of
you personally, and I hope that those relationships continue.
The college is very strong. The faculty and staff of
the FCB are the backbone of our greatness, and they will continue to
provide the high quality student-centered education that is our
trademark. Our associate dean, Marc Chopin, has been named interim
dean while a national search is conducted. You will enjoy getting to
know him in this new role.
It has been the dedication of our alumni and friends
that have made the last seven years so rewarding. Your willingness
to step up, whether financially or in a volunteer role, has
transformed the college. I want to thank you for your efforts, and I
urge you to redouble those efforts as the college moves toward the
very top of business schools in the West.
Thank you again for your support. It wouldn’t have
been nearly as much fun without you.
—Mason
