“One of the reasons I love ODU is its intimate feel. Even though we have a lot of students, there's a lot of direct interaction with students and colleagues. It feels small, even if we have connections and outreach that go a lot of places. Also, coming from a military family, I feel that ODU has a similar representation of the country as a whole.” — Dean Marsillac

Erika Marsillac, Ph.D., sat down with University Communications to discuss her new role as Strome College of Business Dean, her background, her vision for the college, and more.
