College of Business Administration Dean Candidates
To UT Faculty, Staff and Students
From: Provost Susan Martin
Four new candidates for dean of the College of Business Administration will visit campus over the next two weeks. The fifth candidate, William Fox, was a finalist in the first phase of the search, which took place this spring.
Engineering Dean Wayne Davis is chairing the search. Business Dean Jan Williams is continuing to serve until the post is filled permanently.
As part of the candidates' campus visits, each will lead a public forum for the campus community and respond to questions following their presentations. I invite you to save these dates and join us for the public forums:
