I am pleased to announce that, after an extensive search process conducted through the firm Janet Soles & Associates, Dr. Richard Perlow has been appointed Dean, School of Business for a five-year term, effective June 1, 2022. He will hold a concurrent position as professor in the school’s Department of Organizational Behaviour, Human Resources Management, and Management.

Dr. Perlow comes to MacEwan with extensive teaching and administrative experience. He has held a faculty appointment with the Dhillon School of Business at the University of Lethbridge (U of L) since 2002. During his tenure at the Dhillon School, he served as associate dean from 2006 to 2015. Prior to joining the U of L, Dr. Perlow held teaching positions at the University of Manitoba, Clemson University (South Carolina) and Auburn University (Alabama).

A collaborative leader who believes in developing people’s potential, and in the importance of hands-on learning in assisting students in applying theory and concepts learned in the classroom, Dr. Perlow is perfectly positioned to lead the School of Business as we work together to implement Teaching Greatness: Strategic Vision 2030.

I would like to extend my gratitude to those in the MacEwan community who participated in the process, most especially the members of the committee that provided the President with their recommendation: Dr. David McLaughlin, Associate Vice-President, Planning and Analysis and Registrar; Valla McLean, Librarian; Heather Molzan, Academic Advisor, School of Business; Dr. Noufou Ouedraogo, Professor, School of Business; Dr. Melike Schalomon, Dean, Faculty of Arts and Science; Shankar Subramani, Associate Professor, School of Business; Thomas Cross-Trush, Students’ Association VP, Student Life and Allan Wesley, Assistant Professor, School of Business.
