In her new role, Zavyalova will work closely with James Weston, our senior associate dean, with a particular focus on overseeing the Professional Evening and Weekend Programs, as well as the Hybrid MBA.
Zavyalova brings a wealth of experience and expertise to this position. In addition to her roles at Rice Business, she is an International Research Fellow at the Oxford University Centre for Corporate Reputation and serves as an associate editor at the Academy of Management Review.
