Randolph Pohlman to Leave Dean Position at Nova Southeastern University’s Business School
FT. LAUDERDALE-DAVIE, Fla. – Randolph A. Pohlman, Ph.D., has announced that he will leave his position as dean of the H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship at Nova Southeastern University (NSU) in Fort Lauderdale to return to the faculty. Pohlman will take sabbatical leave in July 2009 and return to the Huizenga School in January 2010 to serve on the faculty. A national search will be conducted for Pohlman’s successor.
Pohlman is in his 14th year as dean of the Huizenga School. During his tenure, the school has grown from 1,300 students to more than 6,000 and boasts the largest Master of Business Administration program in Florida. Pohlman also directed the school’s first major capital campaign that led to the construction of the Carl DeSantis Building, a five-story, 261,000-square-foot facility that opened as home to the Huizenga School in 2004.
“Dr. Pohlman has been instrumental in the growth and success of the Huizenga School,” said NSU President Ray Ferrero, Jr. “Thanks to his leadership, our faculty is able to provide business students the practical skills and knowledge they need to begin or advance a career or even start their own business. We are sorry to lose Randy as dean but look forward to having him returning to teach our students.”
In addition to serving as dean, Pohlman has written two books: Understanding the Bottom Line and Value Driven Management. He is also active in the South Florida community, serving as a trustee and member of the Board of Governors for the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce.
Prior to joining the Huizenga School in July of 1995, Pohlman served as a senior executive at Koch Industries, the largest privately owned company in the United States. He also previously served as dean of the College of Business Administration at Kansas State University.
