Dr. Munir Quddus has informed me of his decision to leave the dean’s role in the College of Business (COB) and return to the faculty at the end of the fall 2024 semester. During his 23-year tenure as dean, the COB has experienced unprecedented growth and dynamism. From attaining “initial” AACSB accreditation in 2006, and since then ensuring three successful reaffirmations of accreditation visits, adding two master’s degree programs [i.e., MSA and the EMBA], introducing the “first” online MBA program in Texas, and most recently launching the “first” doctorate (DBA) program in Houston and Texas, offered by an AACSB accredited public institution (2021), the PVAMU COB team has made outstanding progress. Over the years, The COB has moved intentionally with a vision to contribute to society’s well-being through excellence and education. The PVAMU COB is known for community-oriented programs such as the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) supporting small business owners; the Voluntary Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA) for low-income households in Prairie View, Waller, and nearby communities, and the Houston Wellness Program. These programs are often conducted in partnership with others and engage business students, staff, and faculty.
