From global innovation to human-centered vision, how Crummer’s Dean is shaping the future of business education.

When you meet Dean Anil Menon, you quickly sense it: his leadership carries the same spirit that once drew explorers to the frontier—curiosity, courage, and the belief that every unknown holds opportunity.
