Dean's Message

Picture of Dr. James Maxwell Welcome to the School of Business at Lincoln Memorial University! As Dean, it is my privilege to lead a community of talented faculty, ambitious students, and accomplished alumni who are committed to shaping the future of business and leadership. At LMU, we believe that education should be transformative, empowering students not only with knowledge but also with the skills and ethical grounding needed to thrive in an ever-evolving global economy.

 

Our programs are designed to foster critical thinking, innovation, and real-world problem-solving, equipping students to excel in today’s complex business environment. From our undergraduate offerings to our cutting-edge graduate programs, including our MBA, MSBA, DBA, and newly developed PhD in Business Administration, we strive to meet the needs of a diverse student body with flexible learning opportunities and a curriculum that combines academic rigor with practical application. Whether you are joining us in the classroom, online, or in our newly opened Brisley Virtual Reality Lab, you’ll find a dynamic learning environment focused on your success.

 

I am also excited to share our commitment to advancing business education through initiatives like the Advances in Business Education (ABE) Conference, which we are hosting annually beginning in May 2025. This event invites educators, students, and professionals from across the region and beyond to share insights, explore innovative teaching strategies, and collaborate to elevate the quality of business education. The ABE Conference reflects our dedication to fostering meaningful connections and advancing educational excellence, particularly in the Appalachian region.

 

At the School of Business, we are proud to serve the Appalachian region and beyond by providing quality education and creating opportunities for students to grow as professionals and leaders. I invite you to explore all that we have to offer and see how our school can help you achieve your goals. Together, let’s build a future that inspires innovation, integrity, and impact.

 

Warm regards,
Dr. Kelsey Metz
Dean, School of Business
