Extracted Content: Ronald Reagan was President, Sonny Bono became the new mayor of Palm Springs, and the Redskins won the Super Bowl. 1988 was also the year that Anthony D. Wilbon, then a manufacturing engineer for Westinghouse, entered the MBA program at Howard University, graduating two years later in 1990.
Today, three decades later, the 56-year-old Wilbon was named the fourth dean of Howard University’s School of Business. He succeeds Barron H. Harvey, who announced plans to retire from the job last year. Wilbon takes over the job as the business school celebrates its 50th anniversary and recently introduced two new online MBA programs, a more traditional MBA as well as an Executive MBA (see Howard University Launching Two Online MBA Programs).
