Interim Dean for College of Business
California State University, Chico College of Communication and Education dean Stephen King has agreed to serve as interim dean of the College of Business, taking over for Dean Heikki Rinne, who has accepted a position in private industry.
King will be interim dean through June 30, 2001. He will maintain his position at Communication and Education during that time. A national search for Rinne's replacement will begin immediately.
Rinne, who became dean of the college in fall 1999, has accepted the position of president of eFruit International Inc., based in Orlando, Florida.
"Dean King has a demonstrated record of effective leadership, and he will serve the college well during this period of transition," said Scott McNall, provost and vice president for academic affairs. "We wish Dean Rinne well in his new career. He has played an important role in the college's recent achievements."
In December 2000, the college received accreditation re-affirmation from the AACSB -- The International Association for Management Education.
