EPISODE 08: Peter Rodriguez (Rice) on Launching Large Scale Programs	

On this episode of Deans Counsel, moderators Jim Ellis and David Ikenberry speak with Peter Rodriguez, Dean and Professor of Strategic Management at the Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University.

Under Peter's leadership since 2016, the Jones school has seen doubled MBA enrollment, a 35% increase in tenured faculty numbers, and the launch of an undergraduate Business major, among many other successful initiatives.

• Planning for up-front services and associated costs 
• Mobilizing political support 
• The power of conviction 
• Dealing with cultural shifts in student dynamics  
• Planning for down-stream challenges
