Prague school appoints new dean

Jana Ryslinkova

RIT's business school in Prague is welcoming a new leader. Jana Ryslinkova officially begins her new duties this month as dean of the U.S. Business School. She replaces retiring dean Vaclav Prosser, who held that position since the school started in 1990.

To mark the transition, a reception will be held Wednesday, Feb. 14, in Prague at the residence of the ambassador of the United States. College of Business Dean Tom Hopkins, president and CEO of the U.S. Business School, will officially install the new dean at the event.

Ryslinkova most recently served as executive director of the Euro-Czech Forum. Her career includes other leadership positions at various nonprofit organizations in the Czech Republic.

RIT has granted MBA degrees to more than 300 graduates of the U.S. Business School. Many of the school's alumni now hold senior management positions in the Czech Republic.
