Edward (\u201cTed\u201d) A. Snyder will step down at the end of the 2019 academic year as the Indra K. Nooyi Dean of the Yale School of Management<\/a>. Snyder, currently on sabbatical, will return to his position on July 1, 2018, and will complete his term on June 30, 2019.<\/p>\n Snyder\u2019s retirement as Yale\u2019s dean will end an almost 20-year career as a business school dean<\/a>. Prior to starting his position at Yale in July 2011, Snyder served as dean of the University of Chicago\u2019s Booth School of Business from 2001-2011. Before that he served as dean of the University of Virginia\u2019s Darden School of Business from 1998-2001.<\/p>\n The search for Snyder\u2019s replacement has not yet begun. However, there are two people currently at Yale who could possibly be tapped for the position. Anjani Jain is a former Wharton professor and administrator and currently acting dean. David Back is a former IE Business School professor and administrator and is now serving as deputy dean.<\/p>\n Snyder Realized a Global Vision for Yale SOM<\/strong><\/p>\n Whether Jain, Back, or an outsider take over the deanship in 2019, they will have big shoes to fill. Snyder improved the influence, visibility, and recognition of Yale SOM<\/a>, and was named Poets & Quants 2015 Dean of the Year, a reflection of his accomplishments.<\/p>\n One of Snyder\u2019s main accomplishments was bringing Yale SOM into the global arena. According to Yale University President Peter Salovey, \u201cBecause of Ted\u2019s vision and initiative, SOM is the most international of all American business schools, preparing our students for the challenges and opportunities of a complex global world.\u201d In order to realize this vision, Snyder founded a Global Network for Advanced Management. This network of 32 schools on six continents co-create and share teaching resources, online classes, research, world-wide management case studies and staff, as well as week-long immersion excursions. In addition, he introduced a one-year, post-MBA Master of Advanced Management. Under his leadership, all MBAs now have a global studies requirement.<\/p>\n Other Snyder Achievements<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 Snyder has brought students, faculty, and staff together in the new Edward P. Evans Hall, the new $243 million state-of-the-art home for SOM.<\/p>\n \u2022 The Yale Center Beijing opened in 2014.
