PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

JACKSONVILLE UNIVERSITY, College of Business 2010 - 2014 Professor/ Chair, Department of Management and DSIM, Davis College of Business, Jacksonville, FL I was charged with administration of the largest department in the college. Three areas are taught in the Department- Management, Decision Sciences, and Information Management. Responsibilities included assigning teaching assignments, scheduling, evaluating faculty, conducting pre-tenure reviews, assessment, and handling two majors in the College- Management and General Business. At the same time I taught a three- quarter teaching load, chaired the Graduate Committee and sat on several other committees e.g. the Faculty Qualifications committee and the Dean’s Executive Council.

JACKSONVILLE UNIVERSITY, College of Business 2005 - 2010 Associate Dean and Director of Graduate Programs, Davis College of Business, Jacksonville, FL As Associate Director I was responsible for major AACSB activities in the College. The primary areas were to address the problem of a large percentage of the faculty being non-Academically and/or Professionally Qualified. Leading a small Faculty Qualifications Committee, this weakness was turned into strength of the College by Spring 2008. Faculty were encouraged to present at conferences and to publish in academic journals. Major strides were made in accurately evaluating all faculty based on AACSB faculty qualification guidelines. In 2008 I turned the chair over, but continued to serve on the committee. As Director of the Graduate Programs supervised the Master of Business and Executive Masters of Business (EMBA) Programs. In the 2004-2005 I had led the efforts to modernize the curriculum of both of these programs. The EMBA was transformed into an EMBA for Leadership Development. Entrepreneurship was also added to the curriculum along with several new initiatives including Executive Skills in Dress for Success and Dining for Success. In the Evening Program four new concentrations were added so that the curriculum had some alternatives from the general MBA that had always been the program at JU. These concentrations were in Finance, Accounting, Entrepreneurship and Leadership. Major strides were made in upgrading admissions standards and in graduate assessment. The number of evening MBA graduate students was increased to an all-time high of over 210. The quality of incoming EMBA class hit highs in quality over the past few years. As advisor to all of these graduate students I am in a unique position to aid them in their academic and professional careers. In the evening MBA a major initiative occurred in the summer of 2007 when I worked closely with Merrill Lynch executives to establish an off-site MBA program that could be conducted for their students at the local Merrill Lynch campus. This brought in 36 new MBAs and has been a major success. A new class was recruited in 2009, as well as another in 2010. Another major initiative I brought to fruition was to organize the first EMBA Board of Governors. This was organized in 2007 and consists of executive graduates from each of the twenty-three graduating classes. They are now in their second year of existence and have already made major contributions to the College including renovating the student lounge on the 2d floor, providing valuable input as stakeholders of the EMBA curriculum and planning several major JU events for EMBA graduates e.g. CEO of CSX conducted a lunch seminar at CSX that was highly successful. In 2009 I led the effort to once again revise the EMBA curriculum. The new curriculum included a better focused leadership component, as well as a brand new health care portion that is run by the Mayo Clinic. In addition, I initiated several new graduate programs: (1) a joint JD/MBA with the Florida Coastal School of Law; and (2) a new day time accelerated MBA program. Currently, I have taken the lead in proposing a new Master of Science in Organizational Leadership and a new hybrid MBA. Lastly, I served as an advisor for the Dean and a member of his Executive Council.
