Dear UH Community,

The University is engaged in a national search for the next Dean for its C. T. Bauer College of Business.

A search committee has been selected and is chaired by Michael Twa, Dean of the College of Optometry and Vijay Yerramilli, Professor of Finance in the Bauer College. Under their guidance, I am confident that this group of college stakeholders will identify capable candidates to interview.

Committee members are as follows:

• Ravi Aron, Professor of Healthcare Strategy and Technology and Research Director of Healthcare Business Institute
• Elizabeth Berger, Assistant Professor and Director of the Program in Entrepreneurial Finance
• Todd  Chaykosky, Director of Bauer College Assessment and Accreditation Services
• Johannes Habel, Michael J. Cemo Associate Professor of Marketing
• Ye Hu, Professor of Marketing and Director of Bauer College Ph.D. Programs
• Sarah Larsen, Professor of Chemistry and UH Graduate School Dean
• Aylwin Lewis, UH alumnus and former CEO of Potbelly Sandwich Works
• Meng Li, Professor and Endowed C. T. Bauer Chair of AI
• Ksenia Krylova Mohebbi, Instructional Associate professor and Faculty Director for Master of Science in Human Resources Leadership
• Jim  Phillips, Professor of Management
• Linette Rousseau, Assistant Professor of Accounting

This search is being supported by academic leadership recruitment firm Funk Associates. Nominations for candidates can be forwarded to  uhbauer@funkassociates.com.

Updates on this search will be forthcoming.

I’d like to thank these committee members and chairs Twa and Yerramilli for their time and commitment in identifying candidates for UH’s next C. T. Bauer College of Business dean.

Respectfully,

Diane Z. Chase
