And last month a group of panelists including Johnetta Roberts with Village at West Jefferson, Pastor Jamesetta Ferguson with Molo Village CDC, Raymond Smith with Park Community Credit Union, and Butch Mosby with Sponsor 4 Success joined us for a discussion, “Empowering the Racial Wealth Gap through Increasing Real Estate Development in West End Louisville.”

“I look forward to engaging with alumni, the Greater Louisville business community and international partners to enhance the Rubel School of Business’ profile, in the region and beyond,” Dr. Munshi said in her introductory remarks as Dean of the Rubel School of Business.

Dr. Munshi assumed her duties as the new dean of the W. Fielding Rubel School of Business on August 1. She came from Saint Mary’s College of California (SMC), where she served as associate dean of Graduate Business in the School of Economics and Business Administration.

Dr. Munshi brings nearly 20 years of experience as a teacher-scholar in the field of Strategy and Innovation in the UK, Europe, China and USA to Bellarmine, along with significant practical experience as a strategy consultant. At SMC, she has built new degree programs and developed certificate programs for San Francisco Bay Area companies; re-invigorated existing legacy programs, such as the flagship EMBA program; and increased enrollment in graduate business programs.

Due to the pandemic, all events will be held virtually. For more information visit our Rubel School events page.
