A Message From the Dean

This was my first year as Dean of GW Business. As with any new job, especially within a new institution, it takes a beat to find one’s footing. Commencement’s joy offers a fitting moment to reflect on the year’s accomplishments, as campus quiets and we say see you later to our newest graduates. Despite the challenges, there is much to celebrate. If I can sum the year in one word, it would be “innovation.”
