Thank you for your interest in the Naveen Jindal School of Management Dean’s Council and for visiting the Council’s webpage.

The Dean’s Council is an extraordinary organization who sole mission is to enhance the school’s global reputation. For over a decade the council has helped build and grow awareness of our top-notch students, our highly-ranked degree programs, our research-prolific faculty and our overall accomplishments.

Over the years, the council has played a formidable role in showcasing the school accomplishments in the Annual OWLIE Awards where students, faculty, employers and organizations are recognized for their outstanding leadership.

The council accepts applications twice a year from students who care deeply about the continued and future success of the Jindal School of Management; who are committed to giving back to the school that has made a difference in their lives, and who are humble in their contribution and dedication. It is the unity, humbleness and professionalism that members possess that have delivered extraordinary results for many years.

I encourage you to read the mission statement and core values listed below and if you are called to serve, please apply for and support the Dean’s Council. I have high expectations for it to continue to enhance our school and our programs. I congratulate past Dean’s Council members for all they have done and achieved, and I look forward to the successes of future members.
