Dear
alumni and friends,
First, I want to thank the
many of you that I have met or have received messages from for making
me feel so welcome. One of the biggest draws to Goizueta Business School
is the passion, commitment, and quality of the alumni, students, faculty,
staff, and friends. A business school is a community, and Goizueta has
achieved its greatness because of you.
Every leader knows that his or her success is largely
the result of their team and the commitment of the community. As dean,
my role is to guide the organizational direction and assure the adequacy
of resources needed to sustain the culture of success that our school
enjoys. My many conversations with various members of the Goizueta and
Emory communities have helped me clarify where the school is and to begin
thinking about where we want to go. I look forward to speaking with many
more of you in the near future as we chart our course.
The transition from Dean Tom Robertson’s great
leadership to mine has been unusually smooth thanks largely to the leadership
of our Interim Dean Maryam Alavi. I am very pleased to announce that Goizueta
will continue to benefit from Maryam’s leadership as she has graciously
accepted the position as Vice Dean of Goizueta Business School, effective
July 1.
This is a new position for our school. In this role,
Maryam will partner with me as we set and execute our strategy. Throughout
the dean search and transition period, I have developed an enormous amount
of trust and respect for Maryam. I am thrilled that she has agreed to
accept this very important role, and I know that you will join me in thanking
Maryam for her work and her continued commitment to the success of Goizueta.
My wife Marie and I are anxious and excited to get started
in earnest. We have much work to do and much to work with. Thank you again
for your support and together, we will move Goizueta Business School to
even greater heights in the future.
Sincerely,
Larry Benveniste
Dean-elect
