Alumna Pamela Smith Served as Interim Dean of the College of Business at the University of Texas at San Antonio

The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs Kimberly Andrews Espy announced the appointment of Pamela Smith as interim dean of the College of Business, effective January 1, 2021, while a national search for a permanent dean is conducted. “Pamela will provide strategic and experienced leadership as the college prepares for its AACSB accreditation review visit in 2021– 2022, since she has been deeply involved in the college’s assessment and accreditation processes for AACSB as well as the university’s SACSCOC reaffirmation of accreditation” said Espy. A professor of accounting, Smith joined the faculty of the College of Business in 2001. Since September 2019 she has served as the college’s associate dean of administration and faculty. In this position Smith has been responsible for overseeing COB operations and administrative functions—including the budget, human resources, information technology, facilities and space planning, infrastructure, and faculty affairs—and for collaborating with the dean’s staff and department chairs to coordinate and implement college initiatives, academic programming and student success efforts. Prior to her current role, she served as the college’s associate dean of graduate studies from 2016 to 2019. Courtesy of The University of Texas at San Antonio
