Dean’s Update Tom Gilligan Dean McCombs School of Business
McCombs Strategic Priorities Excellence Research at McCombs should have a demonstrable impact on business and management thought, practice, and policy-making. Teaching at McCombs should be effective, innovative, and lead other institutions of business education. Distinctiveness Some of our academic pursuits should be truly distinctive in business education. These sources of distinctiveness should be unique to McCombs and difficult to imitate. Integration Our academic programs should integrate knowledge in ways useful to students. Research that creates and integrates knowledge across interdisciplinary boundaries should be rewarded. Where relevant, knowledge produced throughout the University should be integrated into our programs. Community A community that offers students, staff, and faculty the opportunity to develop to their fullest potential. Alumni, friends, and business partners are valued community members.
