Dr. Urban Officially Becomes School of Business Dean

Yesterday marked the beginning of the month as well as a new era within VCU's School of Business. Dr. Sesnowitz officially retired and Dr. Urban became VCU's S of B Interim Dean. The 4th floor office was filled with excitement as they knew that after 9 years of service as the Dean and leader of VCU's S of B, Dr. Sesnowitz would finally get some rest and also because they knew that VCU found the right person to replace him. Dr. Urban, who is a distinguished and nationally recognized marketing professor has served VCU since 1989. Within just one year of being the Chair of VCU's Marketing Department, Dr. Urban implemented a multitude of reforms that have brought drastic improvements to the Marketing program at VCU. We actually had the great opportunity to meet with Dr. Urban soon after it was announced that he would become the Interim Dean and although we won't go into details, you can rest assure that under Dr. Urban's leadership, major things are coming to the School of Business and very soon!
