On this episode of Deans Counsel, moderators Ken Kring and Dave Ikenberry speak with Mary Ann Scully, Dean of the Sellinger School of Business and Management at Loyola University of Maryland.

Mary Ann enjoyed a successful career in banking, including co-founding Howard Bank, for which she served as CEO and Board chairperson until Howard's merger with FNB in 2022, before setting her sights on the academy. At Loyola of Maryland, she is tasked with leveraging the historical strength of both the undergraduate and graduate programs with renewed focus on the needs of employers and the success of a new generation of students. Her executive experiences combined with her deep business connections inject a new perspective.

In this episode, Mary Ann describes her fascinating transition from banker to dean, covering a number of topics along the way, such as:

• the initial challenges and adjustments she faced at the start of her deanship

• building trust amongst all constituents in her strategic vision

• faculty engagement and strategic initiatives

• resource mobilization and external relations
