Boston University announced that Questrom School of Business Dean Susan Fournier will step down on June 30, 2026, and retire at year-end. Fournier, who has led Questrom since 2018, credited a curriculum redesign and investments in career services for lifting rankings and research output; university leadership credited her with boosting career outcomes and program innovation. The planned departure gives BU time to run a search but also creates near-term transition work for faculty governance, fundraising, and program continuity at a business school that has been executing an ambitious growth strategy.
