Search committee formed to identify next Carey Business School dean

Johns Hopkins University President Ronald J. Daniels today announced that an 18-person, universitywide search committee has been formed to identify the next leader of the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School.

Bernard T. Ferrari, who has led the Carey Business School through a period of exceptional growth in his more than six years as dean, announced last month that he will retire as of July 1. Provost Sunil Kumar will chair the committee that will help find Ferrari's successor, Daniels wrote today in a message to faculty, staff, and students.

Ferrari joined Carey in 2012, becoming the school's second dean. Under his leadership, Carey's full-time enrollment grew by more than 400 percent, the number of full-time faculty members increased from 39 to more than 100, and programming significantly expanded for both in-person and online students. In 2017, 10 years after it first opened, the Carey Business School earned accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, the leading authority on quality assurance for business school programs.

The executive search firm Korn Ferry will work closely with the university committee to develop a candidate pool and facilitate the process. Members of the Johns Hopkins community are encouraged to share thoughts and/or confidential nominations with the search firm at jhu-cbsdean@kornferry.com.
