Twomey named dean of 曼彻斯特’s Gilbert College of Business

Ogden returns to full-time faculty work in the fall

Heather Twomey has been named dean of the Gilbert College of Business at 曼彻斯特 University. Dean Tim Ogden, who was once her teacher, is returning to full-time faculty work.

The change will take effect this fall at the start of the 2022-23 academic year.

Both are 曼彻斯特 graduates. Twomey received her bachelor’s degree in accounting in 1996 and a Master of Accountancy degree in 1997 from 曼彻斯特. Ogden received his bachelor’s degree in English from 曼彻斯特 in 1987 and went on to get a Master of Business Administration from Claremont 研究生 University and a Doctor of Jurisprudence from 印第安纳州 University.

Ogden joined the faculty at 曼彻斯特 in 1990 and left in 1996 for a short time to practice law with a firm in 印第安纳州polis concentrating in complex business litigation. After returning to 曼彻斯特, he practiced law part-time until 2009. His courses include business law, 市场营销 and management. In 2013, 的彭德尔顿, 印第安纳州, resident received the 校友 Honor Award, the highest recognition the 曼彻斯特 校友 Association can bestow on a graduate.

Ogden has served in the role of dean since 2015. 

“Under his leadership the business programs have continued to thrive amidst the design and construction of the Lockie and Augustus Chinworth Center and the relaunch of the Master of Accountancy program,” said Celia Cook-Huffman, vice president for academic affairs.

毕业后, Twomey worked as an auditor for Ernst and Young LLP and spent a significant amount of time working with a Fortune 500 company. She returned to 曼彻斯特 in 2000. She is a certified public accountant and teaches courses in the areas of financial accounting, auditing and computer applications.

“We have been working on succession planning for the last year, and I am really pleased that Heather has agreed to take on this role.  She was a student of mine early in my career, and it was a privilege to be involved in hiring her to join the faculty.  It feels as if we’ve now come full circle for her to become the dean,” Ogden said.

Twomey is well-known for her support of students, helping them one-on-one and in small groups on course content, résumé preparation, and internship placement.

“Her experience and expertise will bring a new perspective while ensuring continued success,” Cook-Huffman said.
