Dr. Natalya Delcoure, dean of the College of Business Administration has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International (AACSB). She will begin a three-year term July 1, 2020 and continue through June 30, 2023.

For the next three years, Delcoure will be an official representative of an organization from the Americas. “It is an honor to serve on the AACSB Board of Directors and be a part of such a global community of leadership,” she said. “My appointment allows the college to remain actively engaged in knowledge-sharing and best practices that accelerate innovation and societal impact.”

Delcoure was previously elected to the position representing a non-accredited institution from the United States when the university was in the process of gaining accreditation from the AACSB. That position’s term ends June 30, 2020.

“This is an exciting time to serve on the AACSB International Board of Directors as the organization has many compelling initiatives underway and many more to come as we continue to move forward with an aggressive Strategic Change Agenda,” said Tom R.
