Finance Professor to Become Associate Dean For Wisconsin MBA and MS Programs in July
Assistant Professor Ken Kavajecz, Finance, Investment and Banking, will serve as associate dean for the full-time Wisconsin MBA and specialized master's programs of the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business beginning July 1, 2006.
Kavajecz joined the School of Business from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania almost three years ago. He has published in the top journals in his field, been a major contributor to the first-year core curriculum of the new Wisconsin MBA and led development and implementation of an MBA honor code.
"Our redesigned MBA program remains a top priority project, and we are fortunate to have someone with Ken's ability and initiative accepting this assignment," said Dean Michael Knetter in announcing the appointment.
Kavajecz will succeed Professor Don Hausch. "Don has done a superb job leading the early implementation of the program," Knetter said. "His dedication, inclusive nature and attention to detail have helped us achieve very strong early results."
