Seattle University has appointed Daniel Turner as the new dean of the Albers School of Business and Economics, effective July 1. Turner will take over from Joseph Phillips, who has led the business school since 2001.
Turner, currently a professor and associate dean at the University of Washington’s Foster School of Business, brings extensive leadership experience in business education. Since 1999, he has been a faculty member at UW and has served as associate dean of master’s programs at Foster since 2007. During his tenure, he oversaw admissions, curriculum development, alumni relations, and overall operations for the school’s MBA programs. Under his leadership, Foster’s graduate programs significantly expanded, tripling their revenue to $47 million and nearly doubling student enrollment to 1,131 students.
