A successful expansion of efficiencies, benefits, and revenue stream from Krannert Executive Educations Programs (KEEP) has brough twith it the need for decentralized duties among full time and executive master’s programs staff .

Chuck Johnson is now director of executive education programs,a new position intended to address the higher demands in KEEP. Joy Dietz will serve as the interim director of full-time master’s programs.

Professor Jerry Lynch, economics, continues as the academic director of master’s programs,but now devotes more time to oversight and administration of full-time students, particularly in career services and admissions.

“KEEP’s increase in revenue is especially important during times of economic challenges and benefits everyone in Krannert,” says Dean Rick Cosier. “The revised structure brings more energy and focus to both our full time and executive programs.”
