Spring 2013 Home
|
This academic year, we achieved an unprecedented level of hiring of new faculty at the Zicklin School. CUNY's investment in Baruch College has resulted in a significant base budget change, enabling us to hire 29 new faculty and 5 replacement faculty. I am proudly reporting to you, as I write this greeting, that we have successfully completed the hiring of all 34 new faculty members. All seven Zicklin departments have hired new faculty ranging from two in the Newman Real Estate Department to eight in the management department. On this occasion I would like to personally acknowledge and thank each department chair, each search committee chair, all search committee members, and the faculty and staff members who participated in this long and arduous search process. I will enjoy sharing the profiles of our new faculty members with you in future editions of e-Zine. The third bit of great news comes as the College is getting ready to launch the search for the next dean of the Zicklin School of Business. The Montefort Foundation made an extraordinarily generous gift, which endowed the Willem Kooyker '71 Dean of the Zicklin School of Business and also endowed a Zicklin Faculty Supplemental Support Fund. This gift will insure that Baruch College will be able to attract and retain a top notch dean and outstanding faculty with sought after expertise. It is my pleasure to announce the contents of our spring issue of the e-Zine, which you can find below. We begin with a brief account of the Dean's Advisory Council, which is chaired by our long-time friend and benefactor, Lawrence Zicklin. Next is an overview of the activities of the Executives on Campus, including new staff members. We have thoughtful interviews with Mikhail Gershovich, the Schwartz Institute’s director and Luke Waltzer, the assistant director for Educational Technology on Blogs@Baruch – an online publishing platform available to all Baruch students. This is followed by an article on the economic impact and initiatives of the Lawrence N. Field Center for Entrepreneurship. We have reached out to two retired faculty members: Jean Boddewyn, emeritus professor of international business and Allen Kraut, professor of management. The result is two heartfelt interviews that gave me, and should give you great pleasure reading. Lastly, we have our "regular" announcement of changes in Zicklin personnel in our "Comings and Goings" column. These articles offer insight into the changing environment of The Zicklin School of Business, and the dedicated individuals who have helped make Baruch and Zicklin the world class college it is today. Thank you and best regards, |
