By Katherine Blunt

Raghu Tadepalli will replace interim dean Scott Buechler as the next dean of the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business July 1, bringing with him a plan to emphasize entrepreneurship and international partnerships. “I told the groups that I spoke with (during the selection process) that I had specific interest in implicating a global mindset because I think that is really important,” Tadepalli said.

By Rebecca Wickel
