Second, I am pleased to share that WittKieffer is assisting us in this search, led by principal Greg Duyck and associate Cathryn Davis. They led recent input sessions and surveys to gather your feedback on essential qualities for candidates and other considerations to develop the position profile. The position profile is now available on WittKieffer’s website. 

Third, I invite all of you to consider nominating candidates for this position. You may submit nominations via email to StonyBrookBusinessDean@wittkieffer.com. For more information please visit the College of Business search webpage, which will be updated through the process.

Last, I want to share my appreciation for Dean London’s leadership of the college during the last decade-plus. He has led a significant transformation of the college, culminating in its initial accreditation with AACSB. He has set a trajectory to position Stony Brook’s College of Business as a first-choice program regionally and globally. The next dean will inherit that momentum and be charged with leading the college to new heights. 

Sincerely,
Carl

Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs
