SUMMARY:Len Jessup - UNLV President
DESCRIPTION:Len Jessup \nLen Jessup joined UNLV as its 10th president in January 2015. An accomplished leader in higher education\, Jessup brought his experience as a university professor\, administrator\, entrepreneur\, and fundraiser and lead UNLV on its path to becoming a high-performing\, community-engaged Tier One research university. Among his top priorities was the development of UNLV Medicine.  He will soon be leaving UNLV to become President of Claremont Graduate University. \nLike many of UNLV’s students\, Jessup was the first in his family to graduate from college. This experience informs his understanding of the crucial role universities play in transforming families and communities\, and it has been a motivating factor in his career in higher education leadership. \nPrior to UNLV\, Jessup served as dean of the Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona (2011-2014)\, where he was also a professor of entrepreneurship and innovation and the Halle Chair in Leadership. He led Eller to become a self-sustaining college with higher national rankings that robustly contributes to the state’s economic development. As a founding board member of the University of Arizona Health Network\, he also contributed to the rethinking and restructuring of the university’s academic medical center. \nJessup is a leading researcher in management information systems\, with a focus on the use of emerging technology in higher education and business\, new venture strategies\, and social entrepreneurship. He was instrumental in creating the University of Arizona’s technology transfer and commercialization program\, Tech Launch Arizona. He led the development and expansion of online degree and executive education programs at Arizona and helped drive similar innovations in previous positions at Washington State University (2000-2011) and Indiana University (1995-2000). \nA former baseball player in the highly competitive California junior college system\, Jessup received his B.A. in information and communication studies in 1983 and his MBA in 1985\, both from California State University\, Chico. He earned his Ph.D. in organizational behavior and management information systems from the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management in 1989 and was awarded the Outstanding Ph.D. Alumnus in 2004. \nJessup resides with his fiancée Kristi Staab\, a former broadcast industry executive who owns and operates a successful leadership and sales training and development business. Jessup has a daughter\, Jamie\, and a son\, David.
