The College enjoys an unusually dynamic environment, serving a wide swath of students, including a majority of first generation and underrepresented students. CBE Faculty merge theory with practice to help guide graduates into not just jobs, but careers. By virtue of its scale and position - the largest business college of the largest university of the largest university system of the largest economy in the country - the leadership work of the new Dean will have an impact far beyond the walls of the College of Business and Economics. About the College of Business and Economics Located in one of the most vibrant and entrepreneurial business communities in the United States, the College of Business and Economics is the third-largest accredited business school in the nation and the largest on the West Coast. Home to more than 9,000 undergraduate and graduate students, the College enrolls nearly a quarter of the students at Cal State Fullerton and is the largest of the university's eight colleges.

These faculty-led think tanks address key community-based issues, tackle global challenges, provide invaluable services to the local business and government sectors, and link students and alumni to real-world learning and networking experiences. The student body of the College is the largest and one of the most diverse on the West Coast. The College is comprised of 33% Latinx students and 28% Asian-American/Pacific Islander students. Diverse Issues in Higher Education ranked CSUF number one in the nation for degrees in business awarded to Latinx/Hispanic students and number two in the nation for the number of undergraduate business degrees awarded to Asian-American students. The College offers academic advising, career advising, and tutoring services to all CBE students, in addition to the services provided by Cal State Fullerton. CBE is accredited by the AACSB, and the Accounting program holds its own separate AACSB accreditation, making CBE one of only two universities in California with both types of AACSB accreditation. Re-accreditation will take place in 2023-2024. Role of the Dean Under the direction of the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Dean of the College of Business and Economics serves as the chief academic and administrative officer for the College. In addition to providing leadership for the College, the Dean works closely with the President's Advisory Board, the Dean's Advisory Board, and the Council of Deans. The Dean will provide vision and leadership for the College and will be responsible for advocating for diversity among faculty, staff, and students, equity in individual experience and outcomes, and inclusivity in the culture and curriculum of the College. Working in a fully collegial environment with faculty, the Dean provides management and oversight for all aspects of the College and furthers the mission and goals of the College and of Cal State Fullerton by enabling faculty excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service. The Dean's primary responsibilities will include the following: Providing strong, consistent, transparent, and fair leadership. Ensuring collaborative and collegial decision-making within the College and with stakeholders throughout the university and local community.

Key Opportunities and Challenges for the Dean The next Dean will build upon the College's many strengths and further advance its mission to provide a high-quality, relevant, compelling business education to students from across Southern California and beyond. Serving as a collaborative, supportive, and approachable leader who models accountability and respect, the Dean will be a tireless advocate at all levels for support for the College's success. In doing so, the Dean will address the following opportunities and challenges: Craft and execute a comprehensive, forward-looking vision for the College The Dean will be charged with preserving the College's distinctive qualities while simultaneously moving the College forward, advancing its standing both regionally and nationally, and envisioning a bright future for CBE that continues to build toward the highest possible levels of excellence. Upon arrival, the Dean will listen to and learn from key stakeholders, including faculty, staff, students, alumni, and university leaders, to identify and establish a clear vision for the College. The Dean will coalesce a well-defined set of goals and strategy for moving the College forward, recognizing the environment in which the university as a whole is operating. To do so, the Dean will bring an understanding of the landscape of higher education, business education, and the role of rankings on the national landscape, while also attending to the unique mission ecosystem of the College and of CSUF. The success of the College's vision will rely on the Dean's ability to unite diverse stakeholders to ensure that all groups are excited about and engaged by the collective vision and their role in its execution. Strengthen and grow external relationships The next Dean will be the ultimate ambassador for the College of Business and Economics and will advocate boldly for resources. The Dean will deepen significant external relationships across the region, the CSU system, and the state. Orange County is a politically and demographically diverse region with a robust and engaged business community, many of whom have ties to CSUF. By establishing and cementing long-term, synergistic relationships with foundations, corporate donors, and key individuals, as well as looking for opportunities for academic collaborations and job placements, the Dean will strengthen fundraising and alumni engagement. In addition to regular sustained advancement efforts for the College, the Dean will play a role in ongoing fundraising efforts for the first University comprehensive campaign in 60 years, alongside decanal and university colleagues. Finally, the Dean will be a partner within the CSU system, building networks that make the most of California's position as the fifth-largest economy in the world and the CSU as a driver of that economy through education of the workforce of the present and the future. Demonstrate thoughtful and strong internal management skills to bolster the College The Dean will bring strong interpersonal skills, as well as a sense of fairness, respect, and trust to the innerworkings of the College. Furthermore, the Dean should strive to be accessible, inclusive, and consultative across campus, but especially within the College, recognizing and supporting the key roles of faculty and staff in providing a high quality education which leads to student success in the workplace. The Dean will be an accomplished manager - aware of how to lead leaders and not micromanage - and will oversee a team and the daily operations of a large, complex, unionized organization. The Dean will prioritize management and leadership needs to identify highest priority activities, opportunities for delegation, and the most effective and efficient operationalization for the College. In addition, the Dean will support the professional development and satisfaction of College staff and faculty. A critical part of this work will be attracting and retaining high quality faculty, both full- and part-time, listening well, engaging in collegial and shared decision-making, and ensuring faculty success in teaching and research. Support high-quality education in an unprecedented environment CSU Fullerton has long been a tremendous educator of students, blending theory with practice and connecting students with faculty and with opportunities in the business community. Recognizing the innovative hallmarks of the business world, the College can lead in the adoption and implementation of technology to bridge the remote environment caused by the pandemic, establishing and embracing new modes for education and connection among students to replace, temporarily, the community environment created by classroom teaching and personal interactions in the beautiful physical space of the College. The Dean will bring understanding of high-impact teaching practices, for this pandemic disruption and even beyond, and the shift that must happen to remain cutting edge and competitive in providing top tier education to students, while continuing to engage faculty in their educational efforts. Additionally, in a rapidly changing marketplace, the Dean must work closely with faculty and other stakeholders to ensure that the current curriculum is reflective of a dynamic and fast-paced global landscape. Serve as a collaborative, engaged, and inclusive campus leader The Dean will set the cultural tone of the College, including attending to student needs; supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion; and ensuring the College is a valued partner across the university, helping the College become a leader among all colleges within CSUF. The College serves large numbers of first generation and underrepresented minority students, who bring to their college careers remarkable skillsets of grit, work-life balance, cultural competency, and ability to carry multiple competing priorities (such as full-time paid work and other family responsibilities alongside schooling). The opportunity to have an impact on student lives, professional development, and careers is unprecedented, and this Dean will embrace a student-centered ethos. In addition, the Dean will seek to understand the current climate of diversity and inclusion in the College, including the strides already made and areas still in need of improvement to advance this critical strategic priority. Finally, recognizing the breadth of CSUF, the Dean will seek opportunities for collaboration across the university, seeking synergies and bridging the work of the College to the community as an entity. The university prides itself on being a collegial and civil place, and the Dean will partner with others to push forward efforts to raise the work of the whole.

Upon arrival, the Dean will listen to and learn from key stakeholders, including faculty, staff, students, alumni, and university leaders, to identify and establish a clear vision for the College. The Dean will coalesce a well-defined set of goals and strategy for moving the College forward, recognizing the environment in which the university as a whole is operating. To do so, the Dean will bring an understanding of the landscape of higher education, business education, and the role of rankings on the national landscape, while also attending to the unique mission ecosystem of the College and of CSUF. The success of the College's vision will rely on the Dean's ability to unite diverse stakeholders to ensure that all groups are excited about and engaged by the collective vision and their role in its execution. Strengthen and grow external relationships The next Dean will be the ultimate ambassador for the College of Business and Economics and will advocate boldly for resources.

Orange County is a politically and demographically diverse region with a robust and engaged business community, many of whom have ties to CSUF. By establishing and cementing long-term, synergistic relationships with foundations, corporate donors, and key individuals, as well as looking for opportunities for academic collaborations and job placements, the Dean will strengthen fundraising and alumni engagement.

Furthermore, the Dean should strive to be accessible, inclusive, and consultative across campus, but especially within the College, recognizing and supporting the key roles of faculty and staff in providing a high quality education which leads to student success in the workplace. The Dean will be an accomplished manager - aware of how to lead leaders and not micromanage - and will oversee a team and the daily operations of a large, complex, unionized organization. The Dean will prioritize management and leadership needs to identify highest priority activities, opportunities for delegation, and the most effective and efficient operationalization for the College. In addition, the Dean will support the professional development and satisfaction of College staff and faculty. A critical part of this work will be attracting and retaining high quality faculty, both full- and part-time, listening well, engaging in collegial and shared decision-making, and ensuring faculty success in teaching and research. Support high-quality education in an unprecedented environment CSU Fullerton has long been a tremendous educator of students, blending theory with practice and connecting students with faculty and with opportunities in the business community. Recognizing the innovative hallmarks of the business world, the College can lead in the adoption and implementation of technology to bridge the remote environment caused by the pandemic, establishing and embracing new modes for education and connection among students to replace, temporarily, the community environment created by classroom teaching and personal interactions in the beautiful physical space of the College. The Dean will bring understanding of high-impact teaching practices, for this pandemic disruption and even beyond, and the shift that must happen to remain cutting edge and competitive in providing top tier education to students, while continuing to engage faculty in their educational efforts. Additionally, in a rapidly changing marketplace, the Dean must work closely with faculty and other stakeholders to ensure that the current curriculum is reflective of a dynamic and fast-paced global landscape. Serve as a collaborative, engaged, and inclusive campus leader The Dean will set the cultural tone of the College, including attending to student needs; supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion; and ensuring the College is a valued partner across the university, helping the College become a leader among all colleges within CSUF. The College serves large numbers of first generation and underrepresented minority students, who bring to their college careers remarkable skillsets of grit, work-life balance, cultural competency, and ability to carry multiple competing priorities (such as full-time paid work and other family responsibilities alongside schooling). The opportunity to have an impact on student lives, professional development, and careers is unprecedented, and this Dean will embrace a student-centered ethos. In addition, the Dean will seek to understand the current climate of diversity and inclusion in the College, including the strides already made and areas still in need of improvement to advance this critical strategic priority. Finally, recognizing the breadth of CSUF, the Dean will seek opportunities for collaboration across the university, seeking synergies and bridging the work of the College to the community as an entity. The university prides itself on being a collegial and civil place, and the Dean will partner with others to push forward efforts to raise the work of the whole.
