Congratulations to UC San Diego alum David Marchick on being named Dean of American University’s Kogod School of Business. With leadership and expertise in business and government, he is uniquely suited for this role. I wish him all the best! american.edu/media/news/202…

Thank you ThePhDProject AACSB for inviting to participate in the Aspiring Leaders Conference for a third year! I loved connecting with these future leaders about the importance of seeing more URM faculty in administrative leadership at B-schools.

We’re so proud to welcome back Kanetaka M. Maki to UC San Diego Rady School of Management! He was our second-ever Ph.D student and has since become an Associate Professor at Waseda Business School in Tokyo. He is teaching at Rady for the summer.

We at UC San Diego Rady School of Management are so proud of Bryan Knox (MBA '07). He was recently recognized with a True Triton award, which honors alumni who have shown an extraordinary commitment to UC San Diego and its causes. UC San Diego Alumni alumni.ucsd.edu/we-are-tritons…

We had a great time celebrating Lunar New Year at Rady. Students, staff and faculty gathered for food and fun, and I took a quick calligraphy class with our MSBA students (we spelled out our names). So great to share these in-person experiences again. Happy Lunar New Year!
