She succeeds Al Roline, associate professor of business law, who was DGS for the past five years, after serving 14 years as Chair of the Department of Accounting.

Under Roline’s guidance, the Labovitz MBA program has grown significantly. In Duluth, Roline was instrumental in the development of the 4+1 Integrated MBA program for current undergraduates and the Accelerated, one-year MBA program.  “In Rochester, we raised the program’s profile through an extensive local promotional campaign. That, along with hiring Rochester Program Coordinator Shanna Lunasin, helped to more than double our enrollments,” Roline said.
