Organizational leadership isn\u2019t just a scholarly discipline for Filiz Tabak. It\u2019s also a specialty she has successfully practiced over the past 28 years in the College of Business & Economics at Towson University \u2013 as a faculty member, graduate program director, department chair and, most recently, acting associate dean.<\/p>\n

\"Dr.
Filiz Tabak joins the University of Mary Washington July 10, 2023, as dean of the College of Business.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Now Tabak brings that expertise to the University of Mary Washington, where she\u2019ll become dean of the College of Business (COB) starting July 10.<\/p>\n

She already has a plan for her first few months on campus \u2013 to learn the strengths, experiences and passions of the faculty she\u2019ll lead and the UMW students she\u2019ll help educate. At the same time, she plans to connect with the COB Advisory Board, the deans of UMW\u2019s College of Arts and Sciences and College of Education, and others in the campus community, \u201cto see what we can accomplish together.\u201d<\/p>\n

A primary job of any dean is to understand the culture of the institution, she said \u2013 though she already has a pretty good idea of Mary Washington\u2019s. When she learned earlier this year that UMW was seeking a permanent COB dean, a website search led her to UMW\u2019s ASPIRE<\/a> statement of values.<\/p>\n

Those principles \u2013 accountability; scholarship; personal and institutional integrity; inclusive excellence; respect and civility; and engagement \u2013 resonated deeply, not just as individual items but in combination with one another. \u201cWhen you as an academic are perfectly aligned with the values of a school, that\u2019s really priceless,\u201d Tabak said.<\/p>\n

Visits to the UMW campus and meetings with students, staff, faculty, administrators and President Troy D. Paino confirmed that impression. When the offer came, she said, accepting \u201cwas not a difficult decision at all. I knew I would belong right away, and I knew it was a good fit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nurturing an inclusive culture, Tabak said, is not just about demographic diversity, but also about inclusive pedagogy and inclusive scholarship that create a space where students and faculty can grow together. She especially appreciates UMW\u2019s approach to preparing students for life after Mary Washington, emphasizing digital knowledge, people skills and undergraduate research. Those elements contribute to students\u2019 full development, she said, so they\u2019ll leave ready to make contributions wherever they go.<\/p>\n

That mirrors Tabak\u2019s own path from first-generation college student to seasoned academic. As a child, Tabak absorbed her parents\u2019 belief that nothing was more valuable and important than a quality education. She earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in environmental engineering and a master\u2019s degree in marine physics and chemistry. As she began a career with the multinational corporation Henkel, she earned an MBA from Bogazici University and discovered a passion for understanding organizational behavior.<\/p>\n

A connection at Oklahoma State University (OSU) urged her to consider their College of Business Administration for her Ph.D., and that\u2019s how she moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n

Her time at OSU was transformational, where she discovered that her multidisciplinary background gave her a distinct advantage in her research and dissertation on strategic decision-making, applying behavioral decision-making concepts from cognitive psychology.<\/p>\n

Doctorate achieved, she became an assistant professor at Towson University in Maryland. She progressed through the ranks to full professor, teaching a range of business disciplines, taking on leadership roles and publishing prolifically in peer-reviewed journals. Tabak loved the supportive culture at Towson and considered it \u201ca great place of balance, where I was able to do teaching, scholarship and service to the students and to the community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In her four years as Department of Management chair, she became a mentor to other department chairs, which she found immensely fulfilling. The experience led to her appointment as acting associate dean and opened her mindset to exploring a deanship of her own \u2013 and that, in turn, led her to UMW.<\/p>\n

She will succeed COB Interim Dean Ken Machande \u201994, whom Provost Tim O\u2019Donnell praised for leading the COB\u2019s AACSB accreditation effort, striking partnership agreements to the benefit of students with community colleges and four-year institutions in Virginia, and growing enrollment.<\/p>\n

Tabak and her husband will move to the area as almost-empty-nesters \u2013 their two sons are in college, in Indiana and Pennsylvania. Tabak is excited to live within easy distance of campus and the downtown restaurant, arts, history and shopping scenes.<\/p>\n

As ready as Tabak is to embrace UMW and its home city, Mary Washington is eager to welcome her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited about Dr. Tabak joining our leadership team,\u201d O\u2019Donnell said. \u201cShe believes in our mission, is enthusiastic about our future, understands the important work that lies ahead and brings a range of knowledge, experience and a competitive drive that will benefit both the College and the larger University.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
