Urban will officially take the helm of the Jennings A. Jones College of Business on Monday, July 1.

He comes to MTSU after serving as executive associate dean and a marketing professor at the School of Business at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Va. He was chosen from among three finalists brought to campus for interviews earlier this year.

Jim Burton, dean of the college for 13 years, steps down as dean on June 30 and will remain with the college in an emeritus role.
