We extend a warm welcome to Professor Alexandra Niessen-Ruenzi as the new Academic Director of our Center for Doctoral Studies in Business (CDSB). Prof. Niessen-Ruenzi is familiar to many of our students and alumni in her role as Professor of Finance and Corporate Governance at the University of Mannheim. We look forward to her becoming part of the GESS.
We would also like to congratulate Professor Antonio Ciccone on his new position as Dean of Graduate Studies at the GESS. Prof. Ciccone is currently also Academic Director of our Center for Doctoral Studies in Economics (CDSE). We are looking forward to working with him in his new role.
