In collaboration with academic unit heads, the Dean promotes a highly stimulating and creative learning environment for an accomplished faculty and student body (http://www.jmu.edu/cob/about/recognitions.shtml), while supporting academic unit self-governance. The Dean champions recruitment, development, inclusion, mentorship, and retention of diverse and highly qualified faculty, students and staff. The Dean represents the College to internal and external constituents and advocates for faculty and student interests through external fundraising. The Dean works closely with the College of Business Board of Advisors to advance the strategic vision of the College and its affiliate schools. As a transformative leader, the Dean works with colleagues throughout campus to facilitate innovation, creativity, collaboration, entrepreneurship, and engagement in teaching and learning, scholarship, and service.  The Dean will continue oversight and management of a major College of Business-related Facilities project, targeted for a Fall 2020 opening. Working collaboratively with University Advancement, the Dean will be an active partner in ongoing fundraising for this project.
