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