Currency: Fall 2025 Dean's Message

Dear College of Business community,

As we kick off a new academic year, I’m filled with enthusiasm and gratitude to join the University of Louisville as your new Dean of the College of Business.

As I begin my tenure as Dean, I’m inspired by the energy, excellence and purpose that define this community.

My first few months have been a whirlwind — in the best possible way. From the moment I stepped onto campus in mid-July, I’ve been diving headfirst into the life of the college: meeting with our department chairs, directors and faculty; hearing from our Board of Advisors and community partners; and attending a wide range of events that showcase the incredible energy and talent here at UofL.

These early experiences have reinforced what I already believed: this is a college filled with passionate people doing meaningful work — not just in the classroom, but across our community and beyond.

As I continue to learn and listen, my focus is on nurturing strong relationships — with our alumni, donors, faculty, staff, students and business partners. I want to hear your ideas, understand your goals and learn how we can elevate this college together.

We’re at a pivotal moment. Higher education is evolving rapidly, and business education must lead the way — through innovation, relevance and impact. My commitment is to work alongside all of you to ensure that the College of Business remains a dynamic force for good: preparing students for the challenges of tomorrow, partnering with industry to solve real problems and creating an inclusive and empowering environment for all.

Thank you to everyone who has already extended such a warm welcome. I look forward to meeting many more of you in the months ahead. Go Cards!

Warmly,

Amy Henley
Dean, College of Business
