Romero is not your traditional business school dean and life at LCB is anything but status quo these days. What LCB got by looking out of the box for its new leader was a fresh way of thinking and a new way of doing business. Philip Romero will bring a new perspective to the Lundquist College of Business and, indeed, to the university. The transformation of the Lundquist College into a world-class business school began with a revised curriculum that combines unique and innovative programs with a solid foundation and understanding of business principles. Based on participatory learning experiences, the curriculum integrates all the business disciplines into a compre-hensive program that allows students to learn and understand the crucial elements of business.
Students learn hands-on in a team environment what it takes to succeed in today's business world.
The appointment of Dean Romero, continues this transformation. He brings to the school high level experience in both corporations and state government, combined with academic experience in the classroom. As an external candidate, he can ask the tough questions that cause us to reexamine long-held assumptions and that will increase the quality of the educational programs that we offer. Among the faculty and students you can't but sense the excitement for what is happening. There are three main goals Romero intends to pursue at the beginning of his tenure as dean.
