Zicklin School of Business to Appoint New Dean
After a national search, Baruch College has announced its recommendation to the CUNY Board that Dr. H. Fenwick Huss be appointed as the Willem Kooyker Dean of the Zicklin School of Business. In conjunction with that appointment, Dr. Huss will also assume a faculty position in Baruch’s Stan Ross Department of Accountancy.
According to Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs David P. Christy, “Dr. Huss’s lifelong commitment to the field of accountancy and to urban, public education of the highest quality, make him the ideal candidate to lead the Zicklin School of Business”.
Dr. Huss has served as Dean of the J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University since 2004, where he previously had served as Associate Dean and before that as Director of the School of Accountancy.
H. Fenwick Huss earned his doctorate in accountancy at the University of Tennessee, and a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Dr. Huss also earned a Master’s degree in economics from the University of Connecticut.
At Georgia State, Dr. Huss enriched and expanded academic programs, launching the Global Partners MBA program, a full-time program in which students study on four continents (North America, South America, Europe and Asia). The program was recognized by the Aspen Institute as among the top 100 business schools worldwide for leadership in integrating social, environmental and ethical issues into the MBA curriculum. He also created the Executive Doctorate in Business program for senior level executives to advance the development and practice of effective organizational leadership and the Executive Master of Science programs in the Management of Information Technology, Marketing and Finance.
In addition to his leadership at Georgia State, Dr. Huss has long shown his leadership in global education. He has assisted universities in Russia, the Ukraine and Sub-Saharan Africa in restructuring their business programs. In addition, he served as director to the Robinson College’s USAID-funded development programs in South Africa, Ghana and Egypt. He has lectured extensively on the topic of business information needs in the People’s Republic of China.
Baruch College’s Zicklin School of Business to Host Panel Discussion on Income Inequality
In partnership with the Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity, the Baruch College Zicklin School of Business will host a panel discussion entitled “The Tale of Two Cities: Turning Rhetoric into Reality” on April 16th at 6 pm.
Income inequality is the topic of the day globally, throughout the nation and in New York City.
Moderated by Nicole Gelinas, Searle Freedom Trust Fellow, Manhattan Institute and a Contributing Editor to City Journal, the panel will address and seek to answer pressing questions raised by an increasing gap between the richest and poorest citizens. Here in New York City, Mayor de Blasio was elected in large-part due to his criticism of “the two New Yorks” and his promises to work to combat the increasing income disparity in this city.
What will it take to turn de Blasio’s rhetoric into reality? Can he substantially improve life in New York City for the nearly 2 million residents living below the poverty line? Can he protect and restore the disappearing middle class? Can the Mayor accomplish all of this without alienating Wall Street and other industries crucial to the city’s economy? Can he keep the city solvent and avoid a repeat of the catastrophic budget failures that have plagued the city’s past? On April 16th the Sustainability Practice Network and Baruch College’s Robert Zicklin Center for Corporate Integrity will convene a panel to address these questions and more.
