JMSB Loses Dean to Lebanese Business School

The dean of Concordia’s John Molson School of Business, Steve Harvey, is stepping down in December and will be the new dean of the Suliman S. Olayan School of Business at the American University of Beirut in Lebanon.

Harvey became JMSB faculty’s dean in July 2012, according to a release by the university, and was expected to serve a five-year term.

Under Harvey, Concordia’s Executive MBA program was revamped, and the business school received high rankings in sustainable business school surveys.

An interim dean will likely be appointed until a new dean is hired over the winter, according to the university.
