A Message from the Dean

Rachna Kumar, Dean, School of Management and Leadership

Welcome from the Dean

Welcome to the School of Management and Leadership. After exploring careers from New York to the Asia Pacific, ranging from advertising, to physics, to professional practice and consulting, I found my home in the world of business management—I invite you to do the same. 

At the School of Management and Leadership, we recognize that in this era of information, data is king. Those who recognize the value of data and know how to apply the information and insights it provides are on track to shine in today’s business environment. Along with management and leadership training, at the School of Management and Leadership, you’ll become fluent in quant and tech, because every function, every department, and every industry in a business relies on those skills more than ever before.

At the School of Management and Leadership our faculty regards you and your fellow students as future colleagues and prepares you to be confident business leaders. They support you in fulfilling your goals in life and your career. 

At the School of Management and Leadership, you’ll graduate with:

  • A level of skill that allows you to enter the workforce job-ready 
  • Holistic professional development that aligns with corporate cultures
  • The ability to be nimble in the ever-changing field of global business

I like to think of School of Management and Leadership as a living lab, where rather than just study international business, you’ll work side-by-side with students and faculty from around the world, learning global business principles through daily interactions. Together, we’ll look at global trends, evaluate which new startups and areas are being funded, and overall, determine where the business world is headed.

Wherever I travel, I find School of Management and Leadership alumni, eager to reconnect and share stories, which fills me with satisfaction and pride. Second only to my children, students like you are my legacy—I hope to meet you in the classroom soon.

Sincerely, 

Rachna Kumar
