Thank you, Nick Williams

Nicolas (Nick) Williams served as the interim dean for the Lindner College of Business from June 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. Stepping out of his role as associate dean of Lindner graduate and international programs, Williams oversaw a year of transformational growth and success.

Through focused collaboration with faculty and staff both within the college and university-wide, Williams helped Lindner continue its upward trajectory in developing the next generation of business leaders through innovative experiential learning. “It was an honor and incredibly humbling to serve the college in this capacity,” said Williams. “Our task now is continue to stretch ourselves so that we can provide even better outcomes for current and future Lindner students, and I’m confident that we will do so.”
