FT. LAUDERDALE (DAVIE), FLA. – Michael Fields, Ph.D, has been named dean of the H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship at Nova Southeastern University (NSU). The announcement was made today by NSU President Ray Ferrero, Jr.
In his role, Fields will serve as the chief academic and administrative officer of NSU’s business school. He will provide innovative vision and leadership and work to further the school’s development of educational programs, curriculum, and a diverse faculty and student body.
“Dr. Fields’ experience with faculty development, academic enhancement and accreditation fits perfectly with the goals of the Huizenga School as it moves to its next level of excellence,” Ferrero said.
Fields comes to NSU from Central Michigan University, where he has served as dean of the College of Business Administration since 2006. He previously was a member of the faculty at Missouri State University’s College of Business Administration from 1990-2006, including serving as associate dean from 1998-2006 and director of the MBA program from 1995-2004. He was also on the faculty at the University of North Carolina – Charlotte from 1985-90.
Prior to entering academia, Fields worked in management in the supermarket, food and retail industries from 1972-81. He earned a Doctorate of Philosophy degree in marketing from the University of Arkansas. He also holds a Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Arkansas.
Fields replaces Randolph Pohlman, Ph.D., who stepped down from his position on June 30 after serving 14 years as dean of NSU’s business school. Pohlman will remain on the NSU faculty after a six-month sabbatical.
