Leadership transition
Dear Quinlan community,
We write to share the news that Kevin Stevens, dean of the Quinlan School of Business, will be stepping down as dean and transitioning to a faculty role on June 30, 2021. Dean Stevens will return to the faculty for the 2021-22 academic year, after which he is planning to retire from the University.
We are grateful that Maciek Nowak, associate dean of faculty and research at Quinlan, has agreed to serve as the interim dean. During his last year at Loyola, Dean Stevens will continue to use his experience to support some important ongoing administrative tasks, including the reaccreditation of Quinlan by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).
