University of Nevada, Las Vegas - Dean, Lee Business School
The University of Nevada, Las Vegas invites applications for Dean, Lee Business School.
The Lee Business School (LBS) delivers high quality business education programs at the undergraduate, master’s, and executive levels. The LBS offers a BSBA with majors in accounting, economics, finance, real estate, international business, management, marketing, and management information systems and a B.A. degree in economics. Graduate students can pursue a master’s degree in accounting, economics, or management information systems, as well as a generalist MBA in part-time or executive formats. LBS currently prepares more than 3,500 undergraduates and 400 graduate students to compete in today’s global business environment.
Through local, regional, and national partnerships, LBS seeks to leverage the unique characteristics of Las Vegas—which includes a vibrant business community including both gaming and non-gaming industries—to find solutions to business challenges that improve management practice and enhance the social welfare and economic development of our community. The LBS has 70 faculty members and 30 staff members and is organized into five departments (Accounting; Economics; Finance; Marketing and International Business; and Management, Entrepreneurship and Technology) and three highly visible centers (Lied Institute for Real Estate Studies; Center for Business and Economic Research; and the Entrepreneurship Center).
The Opportunity
LBS has been energized by a recent naming gift from the Lee family and seeks an individual to provide leadership to work with the current faculty to help LBS reach its full potential. Along with other improvements, the naming gift will add 10 faculty professorships over the next few years and engage LBS in innovative community outreach activities. The gift’s endowment will also provide funding for guest professors and the Speakers’ Series, which enables LBS to build greater connectivity with the business community. The next Dean will play a significant role in shaping these new efforts. For more information on the Lee School of Business, please see: http://business.unlv.edu/.
• LBS has developed joint degree programs with the William S. Boyd School of Law, the Howard R. Hughes College of Engineering, the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration, and the UNLV Dental School. In addition, LBS could build future relationships with the Greenspun College of Urban Affairs, the School of Community Health Sciences, and the School of Architecture.
• Las Vegas is often named as one of the most entrepreneur-friendly cities in the country. According to CNN Money, “Las Vegas is becoming a popular landing spot for tech firms large and small. Popular online shoe seller Zappos moved its headquarters and data center operator Switch Communications launched here. Following in their footsteps are startups ranging from technology service providers to logistics companies that cater to retail, aerospace and defense companies. Low taxes have helped make Nevada a haven for small businesses. The state has no business income, estate or franchise tax. Income taxes are low. Also, Nevada has more corporations — about 325,000 in a state with just 2.5 million people — than any other state except Delaware.” For more information about the Las Vegas business community, please see http://cber.unlv.edu/SNBDI.html.
Las Vegas and UNLV are quickly becoming leaders in the fields of solar energy and sustainability. As the only AACSB accredited Business School in southern Nevada, LBS is in a unique position to facilitate and enhance business opportunities stemming from these innovative initiatives.
