The former Dean of the Simon School of Business at the University of Rochester has started his new job, as the next president of Alfred University. His first day in that role was Friday.
Mark Zupan most recently was director of the Bradley Policy Center and was also a professor of economics and public policy at Simon. He served as the school's dean for ten years until 2014.
He succeeds Charles Edmondson, who has been president at Alfred since 2000. Edmondson is retiring.
Alfred officials say in recent weeks, Zupan has traveled around the country meeting with alumni from that university as well as trustees, staff, and prospective students.
