The combination of Dr. Lei’s accomplishments as an academic leader, her acuity as a scholar and teacher, deeply engaged with business challenges facing communities locally and globally, were among the key qualities that led to her selection, according to a statement from Nancy Cantor, Rutgers University–Newark chancellor; Richard Edwards, executive vice president for academic affairs and Rutgers University–New Brunswick chancellor; and Todd Clear, Rutgers University–Newark provost.
Rutgers University has announced the appointment of Dr. Lei Lei as dean of Rutgers Business School–Newark and New Brunswick (RBS) effective January 1, 2015. Lei follows Glenn Shafer who has led RBS as dean since 2011.
