Kevin L. and Lisa A. Clayton Dean of the College of Business
Lehigh University
“I am responsible for the development and growth of the faculty, students and staff at the College of Business as well as the vision for Lehigh Business and the strategic plan to achieve our goals,” said Phillips, who’s been in her current role for eight years.
What she enjoys most is seeing students, faculty and staff blossom to their fullest potential.
“Early in my academic career, a senior faculty member advised me to step back and realize that each individual comes into a situation with a unique perspective,” Phillips said. “This advice has led me to finding mutual respect in my interactions, which almost always open a door to a path forward and success.”
“Very few young people start out wanting to be a dean,” she explained, “but higher education requires a passion for research. In light of that, one should never stop learning, remain curious and keep your scope of interests from narrowing too early.”
