Tom Jones spent the last year as Executive-in-Residence in the role (which he created) of BBA Program Director. He has now retired from this job and is going on to bigger and better things after a summer spent 'Up North' (as we say here in Michigan). As the School's first BBA Program Director, Tom showed the School the value of having such a position.
I'm going to miss Tom a lot. He was a wonderful friend to the Michigan Business School in general and to undergrads in particular. Tom has been a great person to bounce ideas off of. He brought the corporate perspective to the School --- one that is generally missing from these parts. He had a sensibility about him that is so refreshing to someone (me) who generally deals with academics full time and had, honestly, forgotten what it was like to think about the world in that way.
