Dear Colleagues,
Arjang Assad took on the role of the University of Pittsburgh’s Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business and College of Business Administration Henry E. Haller Jr. Dean in July 2015.

It is with sincere appreciation for the work he has done in these years that I write to share that Arjang has decided to step down from that role and return to the faculty effective June 30, 2022.
