A Message from the Dean
Greetings from the University at Buffalo School of Management.
As many of you know, I will be stepping down as dean at the end of the academic year. A national
search is underway, and we will welcome a new dean before the start of the fall semester.
It is with mixed emotions that I write this, and as I do, I am reminded of a famous African prov-
erb that says, "If you wish to go fast, go alone; if you wish to go far, go together." Fitting words for
this letter, because it was only with your help that we as a school were able to accomplish so much
these past seven years. In this, my final "message from the dean" in Buffalo Business, I'd like to
thank you, our dedicated alumni, for your extensive support during my tenure.
Despite the unprecedented challenges of a pandemic and other pressures, you found a way to
step up and help us continue, and even excel at, our mission.
Our success as a School of Management has depended upon the strong connections we have
with so many of you. We are most grateful for the partnerships you help us forge with your
organizations and the many hours you dedicate to sharing your expertise, coaching, mentoring
and bringing the real world to our students (via Zoom and in person).
While my heart and commitment will remain with the school as I continue to serve in a faculty
role, I recognize that changes in leadership bring fresh perspectives and ideas that build off exist-
ing strengths and accomplishments. I am confident that the positive momentum that we have
accomplished together will continue, and the upward trajectory of the school will continue under
the leadership of a new dean of the UB School of Management.
It has been an honor and privilege to serve you as dean. Thank you for your support and l look
forward to our continued successes.
Horns up and go Bulls!
Warm regards,
Paul Tesluk
Dean
