Dear Faculty and Staff,
As many of you may be aware, Dr. Michelle Wieser, dean of Saint Mary’s University’s School of Business and Technology, has recently announced her decision to accept a new leadership position with QS Quacquarelli Symonds, a global higher education consulting, research, and enrollment and rankings firm. Dr. Wieser’s last day at Saint Mary’s will be September 12. We extend our sincerest thanks to her for her dedication to our faculty, staff, and students over the past five years. Most notably, she spearheaded the accreditation and reaffirmation process that culminated in IACBE accreditation for the College and 10 SGPP programs.
Father Burns reflected on Dr. Wieser’s contributions, stating, “While Michelle’s gifts and talents will be missed at the university, I am so very pleased that she has secured an amazing opportunity to continue her innovative legacy and to share her business acumen. I thank her for her dedication to Saint Mary’s University during the past five years, particularly her significant contributions to recent IACBE accreditation. She has achieved a great deal. I extend my own, and Saint Mary’s collective, ongoing promise of prayers.”
While I have not had the opportunity to work with you as long as I may have liked, I also offer my appreciation to you, Dr. Wieser, for your dedication and leadership at Saint Mary’s. While your leadership will be missed, I have faith in the deeply committed faculty and staff you supported in the Graduate School of Business and Technology to continue to carry forth their service to our students and the Saint Mary’s community.
Best Always,
Sue Hines, Ed.D.
Vice President for Academic Affairs
