The Dean’s List

Eleven years ago, Professor of Information Systems Evan Duggan, returned to The Rock to start the PhD programme in Management Information Systems at the University of the West Indies, (UWI) Mona, from a teaching post at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. This then led to posts as Executive Director of the Mona School of Business & Management, and subsequently as Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences. Having wrapped his tenure as the administrative head of that faculty, Duggan comes full circle as he returns to the University of Alabama at Birmingham to begin teaching, for two years, as of the upcoming fall semester.
