Dean’s Welcome
It’s hard to believe we’re already several months into my second year here at LER—time has really flown! Thank you for welcoming me into the LER family and making this my new home.
It’s been exciting to be out on the road, meeting alumni around the country, and welcoming those who visit for recruiting and campus visits. Seeing where you work and hosting alumni and friends of the School who stop by to see the changes in the building is the best part of my job.
We’ve made good on our promise for big plans in 2023. Our Climate Jobs Institute is off and running, working on making hires and beginning essential research on the labor market impacts of decarbonization. Our online program is developing exciting new certificate offerings to serve new audiences and meet the needs of working professionals. Our traditional master’s program continues to be a place where students can grow and develop into future workplace leaders. We’re developing a new optional concentration that, once approved, will allow future students to develop expertise in HR analytics.
We will continue to evolve and develop in 2024, and I hope you enjoy reading about our successes so far. As always, your support makes everything we do possible. Thank you!
