The incoming dean will join faculty and administrators committed to enhancing the university's standing as one of the top regional universities in the Northeast. Accredited by AACSB International for over three decades, the School has some of the most prominent business programs in the area and is characterized by a faculty committed to academic excellence. The Wehle School has earned broad-based support from the business community and benefits from a successful and generous alumni base. The Wehle School's outstanding reputation is exhibited through notable examples:
