Spotlight: Mamer Named Interim Dean at UCLA’s Anderson

UCLA Chancellor Albert Carnesale appointed a professor and associate dean, John Mamer, to be interim dean of the Anderson School, effective Sept. 1. Mamer, 43, has been associate dean and chair of the Department of Management since 1994. Mamer will replace William Pierskalla, who announced in May that he would step down after four years in order to spend more time with his family. The search for a permanent dean will begin shortly, according to Carnesale.
