The Dean's Letter
At Robinson, we believe the traditional model for business education is not capable of producing leaders ready to solve tomorrow’s problems. That’s why we set out to break the mold every day by embracing a new way to do business. Every lecture, project and partnership bring together unique disciplines and multiple perspectives to create an inclusive culture that produces graduates ready to build a better future for businesses and society. Moreover, our faculty includes engineers and data scientists working alongside management researchers to ensure we understand and embrace the relevance of research to change the course of the future.
Like Atlanta, Robinson has a progressive spirit, forward-thinking energy and unique tenacity. We provide students from all backgrounds with expansive opportunities and introduce them to a global mindset in their coursework and through immersive and experiential learning opportunities. Ours is an atmosphere teeming with curiosity, collaboration and carefully vetted risk-taking, where students, faculty and business partners work to find creative ways to shape the future of business together. An unwavering entrepreneurial spirit supported by investment in emerging technologies drives our ability to create inventive breakthrough solutions to problems previously considered impossible to solve.
It’s through diversity in ethnicity, background, discipline and approach that Robinson students, faculty and alumni are creating new pathways to success.
Whether you’re an alum, a student, a parent, or an industry partner, we invite you to join us on our transformational journey to building a better, more inclusive way to do business. After all, it’s the only way to solve tomorrow’s problems.
Richard D. Phillips’ areas of research include the financial risk management practices of financial institutions and various regulatory issues as they pertain to the insurance industry.
