Neumann University is pleased to announce the appointment of Lawrence  
 Burgee, Ph.D., as the dean of Business and Information Management.

 Before coming to Neumann, Dr. Burgee served as chair and associate professor  
 in the Department of Information Systems at the Brown School of Business  
 and Leadership at Stevenson University. He holds a Ph.D. in Information  
 Systems from the University of Maryland Baltimore County, and an MBA in  
 International Business from Loyola University Maryland. Since 1992, he has  
 been developing and leading business-focused study tours to visit over 140  
 companies in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, England, France, Germany,  
 Ireland, Italy, Panama, and Switzerland.

 At Stevenson, Dr. Burgee led the development of five new business-focused  
 Information Systems courses and a new E-Commerce Technology Track. He  
 spearheaded the efforts to integrate business professionalism and leadership  
 theory into the IS majors, a process known as DeGeeking. He also collaborated  
 with Business Administration and Arts in the formation of a new multidisciplinary,  
 tri-departmental Digital Marketing degree. In 2011, he won the Dean's  
 Award for Outstanding Faculty Student Leadership. In 2014, he received the  
 Dean's Award for Outstanding Scholarship for the DeGeeking “best paper”  
 presented at the Academy of Business Research Conference. Additionally, Dr.  
 Burgee was inducted into the Sigma Beta Delta International Honor Society in  
 Business, Management and Administration. This honor was in recognition of  
 the seven business-focused study tours to Europe and Panama that he led and  
 co-led over the past five years.

 Prior to Stevenson, Dr. Burgee served as assistant professor of e-Business and  
 Technology Management at Towson University from 2003 to 2009, where he  
 developed and taught cutting-edge courses in e-business, internet technology,  
 and information technology. He also taught in the Executive MBA program  
 at University of Lodz in Poland, and taught e-business at Quality Leadership  
 University in Panama.

 Prior to moving into academia in 1998, Dr. Burgee spent 14 years in various  
 information technology positions including project manager, disaster recovery  
 coordinator, and systems programmer. He began his career as a mathematician  
 working for the U.S. Army Ballistic Research Laboratory.
