Kenneth B. Dunn, managing director of Morgan Stanley Investment Management and former Carnegie Mellon faculty member, has been named dean of the Graduate School of Industrial Administration (GSIA), effective July 1, 2002.
Kenneth Dunn will replace Douglas M. Dunn, who announced his retirement last spring. Douglas Dunn, whose tenure has focused on faculty hiring and support, extending global partnerships, the intro-duction of the nation's first graduate degree in electronic commerce and key capital improvements for the larger GSIA community, has served as dean of the business school since 1996.
Although Kenneth Dunn will not officially begin his new role until next summer, he said he would initiate strategic planning activities and transition management plans, including regular campus meetings with faculty, students, staff, alumni and other constituents, beginning this January.
