Professor
Kathleen Hagerty named senior associate dean
One of
the Kellogg School's respected scholars and a longtime member
of the Finance Department faculty has joined the Office of
the Dean in a senior leadership role.
Kathleen
Hagerty, the First Chicago Distinguished Professor of
Finance and co-director of the Financial Institutions and
Markets Research Center, has assumed the role of senior associate
dean, faculty and research, a position previously held by
Robert
Magee, the Keith I. DeLashmutt Distinguished Professor
of Accounting Information and Management. Professor Magee
will resume his full-time teaching and research after a four-year
term in the dean's office.
Dean Dipak
C. Jain made the announcement June 4 during Oh Be Joyful,
the Kellogg School's annual recognition dinner for faculty
and staff.
Professor
Hagerty brings a distinguished record of research, teaching
and leadership experience to her new role. She began her career
at the Kellogg School in 1984 and during that time has been
recognized with numerous awards for her exemplary work, which
includes a focus on security market regulation, microstructure
of financial markets and the intersection of law and economics.
She has received a Sidney J. Levy Teaching Award, a Bradley
Foundation Research Fellowship, grants from the Searle Foundation
and the Donald P. Jacobs Prize for the "Most Significant Paper"
in the Journal of Financial Intermediation. She will
continue to teach a derivatives course this fall.
Professor
Hagerty has served as Finance Department chair from 1998-2000
and as a member of the Northwestern University Program Review
Council from 1993-1996, which she chaired from 1995-1996.
She is also a member of the National Adjudicatory Council
of the NASD, the world's leading provider of financial regulatory
services, and an associate editor for The Review of Financial
Studies.
"I look
forward to this new opportunity to make a positive difference
at Kellogg," said Hagerty. "As a finance researcher, I am
accustomed to taking a hard look at the data in an effort
to understand systemic mechanisms. My goal is to bring this
kind of rigor to my role in the Office of the Dean as we continue
to build the school's academic strengths across all our disciplines."
In her
new role, Professor Hagerty joins Dean Jain and Senior Associate
Dean (Curriculum and Teaching) Robert
Korajczyk.
Before
announcing the new senior associate dean, Dean Jain praised
Professor Magee's service, particularly "his intellect, patience
and steady positive manner."
"Bob has
demonstrated extraordinary skill and dedication during the
past four years, including his efforts to increase the school's
attention to faculty research," said Dean Jain, adding that
Magee was instrumental in establishing the Stanley Reiter
Best Paper Award in 2002.
In addition
to the news about Professor Hagerty, a number of other promotions
and distinctions were announced at Oh Be Joyful. The full
list of recognitions may be found online.
