Brian Till, who has led the College of Business since
2015, will be stepping down today following Marquette’s graduation. He was a
good friend of the AIM program.
Today (graduation day), Brian Till will step down as the James H. Keyes Dean of Business Administration, with plans to return to the faculty and take a yearlong sabbatical. Joe
Daniels will become Marquette University’s dean of the College of Business Administration
on May 20th.
David Krause, AIM program director, commented that Brian Till was always a strong supporter and good friend of the Applied Investment Management program. "Dean Till traveled with the students and me to New York City the past two years - he embedded with the students and made all of the visits with us over the three day stay in NYC. I look forward to working with Brian as he returns to the faculty."

“For the past four years, I have truly
enjoyed working with the faculty and staff of the College of Business
Administration, and I love being a part of the Marquette community, and I’m
very proud of all we have accomplished,” Till said. “Over the past few months,
I have reflected on my personal and professional journey, and it became clear
to me that now was the time to take a step back and discern what my next path
will be. I want to thank everyone in the college for the support they’ve shown
me and for the great work we have accomplished together.”

During his tenure, Till led the college
through its renewed accreditation process, completed a strategic plan and
developed a vision for the college to become a “destination business school,”
the release said. He oversaw the launch of new undergraduate programs in
commercial banking and sales, as well as the development of a new major in
business analytics, and helped create the college’s Student-Run Business
Program. He also oversaw the launch of an online cohort MBA program and a
Masters in Supply Chain Management program.

“On behalf of the university community, I
want to thank Dean Till for his leadership and service to the College of
Business Administration and Marquette,” said Kimo Ah Yun, acting provost. “From
the development of a strategic plan for the college to the launch of several
new programs, Dean Till has moved the college forward and will pass the baton
to the next Keyes Dean knowing the college is in excellent shape for the
future.”
Till’s departure
follows that of two other Marquette leaders, including former provost Dan Myers and
Dave Lawlor, former executive vice president of operations.
The search for a permanent provost has begun
and it will be followed by the search for a permanent Keyes Dean of Business
Administration.
