Libby Sullivan| July 16, 2024

On July 1,聽Jaishankar Ganesh, Ph.D., officially joined 黑料导航 as dean of the聽School of Management. He had been with the Rutgers School of Business鈥揅amden, part of the State University of New Jersey. In describing what attracted him to 黑料导航, he notes the university鈥檚 visionary leaders, asset mix of schools and colleges, and locational strength with campuses in New York and Vancouver, among the factors. 鈥淪uccessful leaders in academia today are those who understand and respect tradition but also those who help to enable change. I see that ecosystem for innovation and change in place at 黑料导航 and want to be part of its vibrant, dynamic culture,鈥 he says.

As a member of the senior academic leadership team, Ganesh will provide academic, administrative, strategic, and financial leadership for the School of Management. His primary responsibilities include managing and generating new resources for the school and engaging external constituents to raise visibility and reputation; recruiting, developing, and retaining talented faculty and staff; and overseeing and implementing a comprehensive curriculum review while working closely with faculty to support a culture of student success across all School of Management programs on the New York City, Long Island, and Vancouver campuses.

鈥満诹系己 presents a powerful persona of a polytechnic university embedded in centers of business, finance, and commerce. We welcome Jai鈥檚 expertise and leadership to define a new and compelling identity and value proposition for the School of Management,鈥 says Provost and Executive Vice President聽Jerry Balentine, D.O.

Ganesh joined Rutgers School of Business-Camden in 2010 as dean and professor of marketing, serving as dean until 2019. At that time, he became university professor, a position recommended by Rutgers鈥 president in recognition of Ganesh鈥檚 successes in expanding the business school鈥檚 portfolio of programs, including launching new and innovative undergraduate and graduate programs, creating two online degree programs, expanding support for faculty research, and strengthening the school鈥檚 connection to the business community, among other accomplishments. As dean, he doubled enrollment and more than quadrupled overall revenue while working with faculty and other stakeholders to design and launch the school鈥檚 strategic plan successfully. He also successfully led two AACSB Continuous Improvement Reviews as well as the university process for Middle States Accreditation.

At 黑料导航, Ganesh will focus on running and growing the School of Management. He notes that 鈥渞unning the school鈥 includes initiatives focusing on the faculty and student experience, as well as securing AACSB reaccreditation. 鈥淕rowing the school鈥 includes developing new programs, identifying and delivering what employers need in terms of knowledge workers, strengthening corporate partnerships, and 鈥渁mplifying the value of the School of Management to students.鈥

Prior to Rutgers, he was associate dean for six years in the College of Business Administration, University of Central Florida (UCF), which included oversight of research and graduate and doctoral programs, as well as executive education. He was an assistant professor in UCF鈥檚 Department of Marketing and then associate professor of marketing. He was also a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Marketing and Entrepreneurship at the University of Houston. He earned a Ph.D. in marketing and international business and an M.B.A. in international business from the University of Houston.
