Fairfax, Virginia’s George Mason University has officially appointed a new dean: Starting July 1, Ajay Vinzé will begin a new position as dean of the college’s business school.
Vinzé comes to the role after having been dean of the Trulaske College of Business at the University of Missouri, through which he oversaw 4,500 students. He also spent 17 years working in several roles at Arizona State University. In the new gig, he’ll be looking after over 5,000 undergraduate and graduate students, as well as five research centers under the school’s wing.
“A trifecta of forces — technology, globalization and changing expectations for higher education (post pandemic) — make these interesting and exciting times,” Vinzé said in a statement. “The Business School at Mason, with its outstanding faculty, dedicated staff and a wonderfully diverse student body, is uniquely positioned to take on these challenges. By leveraging public-private-academic partnerships, we will alter the trajectory of business education and lead the way.”
