Rajib Sanyal, an industrial and labor relations expert and former Northern Michigan University dean, has been appointed dean of the Miller College of Business.
Sanyal is scheduled to join Ball State University on June 1.
"We are absolutely delighted," Provost Terry King said. "His credentials are impeccable and he's a very well-known scholar."
During his tenure at Northern Michigan, Sanyal developed and implemented a strategic plan and fundraising plan, built a financial training lab, created a student management investment and established a new business venture competition.
Prior to Northern Michigan, Sanyal was an American Council on Education Fellow during 2004-05 at George Mason University. Beginning in 1987, he was a faculty member at the business school of the College of New Jersey, formerly Trenton State College. He served as a division head from 2000-04 as well as director of the nonprofit management certificate program.
He received his doctorate from Georgia State University and a master's from University of Wisconsin-Madison.
His undergraduate degrees are from the University of Calcutta and University of Delhi.
"My hope and my belief is that Dr. Sanyal will be able to bring new ideas, new perspective, new energy to the college." King said. "He is already starting with a good college. We hope that he will be able to create a college of business that is even more exciting."
