In an interview with the website Poets & Quants, Sunil Kumar, the new dean at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, said he hopes to make the prestigious school more global and strengthen its alumni network, among other goals. Kumar also said he has put together a committee of senior faculty to assess Chicago’s global strategy and determine what, if anything, the school should do. “We want to consult widely, collect data on other schools and see how well they’re doing it,” Kumar said.
Kumar was appointed dean on July 28, 2010, and began his term on Jan. 1.
