Tracy H. Dunn has become the first woman to be named dean of the Tyrone Adam Burroughs School of Business and Entrepreneurship at Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina. She has been serving as interim dean for the past three years.

“This is the right time to be a student at Burroughs,” Dr. Dunn says. “Our students are receiving a solid business education supplemented by a plethora of experiential learning opportunities to develop and solidify important soft skills like critical thinking and teamwork. After four years at Burroughs, our students are transformed into well-prepared professionals ready to contribute on day one.”

Dr. Dunn has served on the faculty at Benedict College for 18 years. Previously, she worked in the corporate sector for IBM and AT&T.
