On July 1, Jaishankar Ganesh, Ph.D., officially joined New York Tech as dean of the School of Management. He had been with the Rutgers School of Business-Camden, part of The State University of New Jersey. Attributing his decision to join New York Tech, was influenced by the university’s visionary leaders, asset mix of schools and colleges, and locational strength with campuses in New York and Vancouver. “Successful leaders in academia today are those who understand and respect tradition, but also those who help to enable change. I see that ecosystem for innovation and change in place at New York Tech and want to be part of its vibrant, dynamic culture,” said Ganesh.
As a member of the senior academic leadership team, Ganesh will provide academic, administrative, strategic, and financial leadership for the School of Management. His primary responsibilities include managing and generating new resources for the school and engaging external constituents to raise visibility and reputation; recruiting, developing, and retaining talented faculty and staff; and overseeing and implementing a comprehensive curriculum review while working closely with faculty to support a culture of student success across all School of Management programs on the New York City, Long Island, and Vancouver campuses.
“New York Tech presents a powerful persona of a polytechnic university embedded in centers of business, finance, and commerce. We welcome Jai’s expertise and leadership to define a new and compelling identity and value proposition for the School of Management,” says Provost and Executive Vice President Jerry Balentine, D.O.
At New York Tech, Ganesh will focus on running and growing the School of Management and amplifying its value to students.
