Leadership

“Marshall has a unique role to play in educating future leaders who excel at the technological fluency and human-centric problem solving needed to thrive in today’s ever-changing world."

"The unlimited opportunities and the unprecedented responsibilities in front of business are, by now, familiar to many. Never have more doors been open for innovation and growth — but so too, never has more been expected of business leaders and their commitments to improve the world around us.

Our mission is to empower the business leaders of tomorrow — our students — not only to seize the boundless opportunities generated by technological innovation and the digital economy, but also to anticipate and shape the far-reaching societal implications of that innovation.”

— Dean Geoff Garrett
