New dean for Moore School of Business

Hildy Teegen, director of the Center for International Business Education and Research and professor of international business and international affairs at George Washington University, will become dean of South Carolina's Moore School of Business in September. She will succeed Joel Smith, who has been dean since 2000 and announced his retirement last year.

Teegen has also taught at the College of William and Mary, the University of Texas at Austin, the Instituto Tecnologico Autonomo de Mexico in Mexico City, and the Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey. She has written extensively about global economics and has co-authored two books about economic sanctions.

“Hildy Teegen is an accomplished scholar and a gifted leader,” said Provost Mark Becker. “Alumni, academic and business leaders, faculty members, staff, and students will find her to be an engaging leader who will work with the Moore School's stakeholders to advance the institution regionally, nationally, and internationally.”

The Moore School enrolls nearly 4,000 undergraduate and graduate students and offers bachelor's degrees in accounting, economics, finance, insurance and risk management, international business, marketing, real estate, management, and management science. The school also offers master's degrees and doctorates in business administration and economics.
