Robert Dolan announced at the end of March that he would step down as the Edward J. Frey Dean of the Ross School when his second term ends on June 30, 2011.
“Dean Dolan’s leadership and vision have literally transformed the school into one of the elite business schools in the world,” Sullivan says. “He will leave a legacy that positions the Ross School to continue its tradition of excellence. We are looking forward to working with him as he concludes his deanship while continuing to contribute to the broader campus utilizing his considerable skills as an administrator, a scholar and a visionary leader.”
