Overall reaction to this has been incredibly positive from everything I’ve seen. She really seems pretty amazing and I think it’s a great move for Wharton.

WSJ Posted an article about Erika James, Goizueta's current dean moving to Wharton and Wharton's current dean moving to Marshall :-o

While it may seem like a demotion for Garrett to go from Wharton to Marshall, he is actually a former Marshall Faculty member but was leading Wharton's MBA program since 2014! That's a decent stretch of time! Meanwhile, Marshall has fired it's previous dean Jim Ellis (which sparked a number of concerns from donors and from students who wanted to keep him). Jim Ellis did a great job it seems with improving Marshall's perception and ranking, getting it into Top 20 US News last year. I guess we'll see how USC does this y ear..... Anyway, Marshall spent 7 months looking for a replacement, so Garrett seems to be coming back to save and help Marshall and fill a vacant spot.

Quote:
Ms. James, who has led Emory's Goizueta school since 2014, will take over the role July 1. She succeeds Geoffrey Garrett, who is leaving Wharton to become dean of the University of Southern California Marshall School.

Good luck to everyone!

abhimahna - any comments about Erika Jones' performance? ;-)

Just realized I missed this email. Coronavirus has taken over my brain. :)

Yes, she is amazing. She has done amazing job at Emory over the past 6 years. What I heard what she even started a new program at Emory. I am sure Wharton has a big gain and Emory has a big loss. Good luck Wharton :)
