Forward-Thinking Since 1913
A visionary for his time, our founding dean, Everett W. Lord, believed management education should support democracy and human welfare, not just profits.
Now in our second century, we carry those values forward—and continue to think big. And when you think big, big things happen—like the record-breaking, school-renaming gift we received from retail icons Allen (Questrom’64, Hon.’15) and Kelli Questrom (Hon.’15). They’re a couple that embodies the integrity and innovation at the core of Questrom. We gave Allen his start. In 2015, he gave us his name.
In this decade, a new vision guides the School under the leadership of Susan Fournier, Allen Questrom Professor and Dean. Fournier’s focus includes research that matters, programs that inspire, and faculty, staff, and students who care.
