Mark Cordano, associate professor and chair of the management department at Ithaca College, will serve as interim dean of the School of Business beginning June 1, according to an announcement made by the college Monday.

Cordano will serve as dean while the college hosts a formal search for a new dean.

Dean Susan Engelkemeyer, who accepted an offer to become dean of the Charlton College of Business at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth, will leave the college after this year.

Cordano teaches classes in strategic management, business and society, environmental management, organizational behavior, and human resources.
