Dean of the Grossman School of Business

The Grossman School of Business at the University of Vermont educates environmentally and socially responsible leaders, researchers, practitioners, and advocates for success in complex, global, multi- stakeholder, and sustainable environments. The GSB is a vibrant intellectual community offering undergraduate, graduate, and professional education to more than 1,050 students from around the world. Through its committed 36 faculty and 21 staff and strong emphasis on experiential learning opportunities, students develop quantitative, conceptual analysis, and technology skills, while expanding their classroom experiences working on applied projects in real business settings.

Reporting to the provost, the new dean will join UVM at a time of significant momentum and achievement for UVM and for the Grossman School of Business. The university – which recently achieved Carnegie R1 Research status – will welcome Marlene Tromp, Ph.D. as its 28th president, later this summer. The new dean will collaborate closely with fellow deans across the university, as well as with industry leaders, GSB alumni, corporate partners, and peer institutions, to seize opportunities that advance research, business education, and practice, particularly those aimed at creating positive societal impact and promoting equitable, sustainable business development. The incoming dean will be charged with further elevating GSB’s national and global reputation by championing student success, fostering high-impact research, building strategic research-practice partnerships, and engaging key stakeholders. Additionally, the dean will play a critical role in supporting faculty, enhancing academic quality, driving recruitment and retention, and overseeing budgetary planning and fundraising initiatives.

The successful candidate will have a record of scholarly achievement appropriate for a tenured appointment at the level of full professor within the school. The next dean of the Grossman School of Business will be a visionary, entrepreneurial, and globally minded leader who brings a strong academic foundation and a deep commitment to innovation, sustainability, inclusivity, and integrity. This individual will possess significant administrative expertise including financial management, fundraising, faculty support, and accreditation, and will be adept at aligning academic programs with evolving industry trends. The ideal candidate will have experience building academic-industry partnerships and a passion for student success. They will be a collaborative, transparent, and empathetic leader who champions environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles; fosters a culture of academic excellence and shared governance; and advances GSB’s mission and strategic plan in alignment with UVM’s land- grant values.To submit a nomination or express a personal interest in this position
