RIT's College of Business Announces New Associate Dean

Brian F. O'Neil has accepted the appointment of associate dean and director of Graduate Business Programs in the College of Business at Rochester Institute of Technology. He will begin his duties effective June 1.

O'Neil currently works as associate dean at Clarkson University School of Business in Potsdam, N.Y.—where he has served as professor of operations and production management since 1985.

Upon O'Neil's arrival at RIT, a senior management reorganization will take effect within the College of Business.
