MESSAGE FROM DEAN TROYER
COLLEGE HIGHLIGHTS
I am delighted to introduce myself as the new dean for the Belk College of Business. As we celebrate our college’s 50th anniversary throughout the 2020-21 academic year, I look forward to virtually meeting with many of you.
“Jennifer is a forward-thinking leader who is dedicated to student success and is closely linked to our business community,” said UNC Charlotte Provost Joan F. Lorden.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on all our lives. From our students and their commitment to keep learning, to our faculty who quickly shifted to move hundreds of courses to a virtual instruction model, I’ve been uplifted by the resilience of our campus community. On the front lines, our Business Niner alumni and supporters have been stepping up to solve problems, keep us safe, and keep businesses going in this challenging time. This type of dedication is what defines us as 49ers and makes me proud to serve as your new dean. We’re doing great work at the Belk College and are excited to share with you some recent examples.
DR. JENNIFER TROYER APPOINTED BELK COLLEGE DEAN
Sincerely,
Dr. Jennifer Troyer – who has served at UNC Charlotte for 20 years – has been appointed dean of UNC Charlotte’s Belk College of Business.
Jennifer Troyer, Ph.D. Dean, Belk College of Business

“The Belk College MBA is top-notch quality. The professors have widespread experience within their industry, and we do innovative projects to really get you thinking along the lines of a business leader.” CHANNING MERRITT EDWARDS ‘19 MBA ALLOCATION COORDINATOR STITCH FIX
HIGHLIGHT: INCREASING FLEXIBILITY FOR ENROLLMENT As the COVID-19 pandemic closed standardized test centers across the country, the Belk College was among the first business schools to waive the GMAT/GRE testing requirements for summer and fall 2020 for all master’s graduate programs. The waiver, which will continue through spring 2021, has allowed the Belk College to eliminate barriers, alleviate anxiety and provide flexibility for those applying to the college’s master’s programs. To further assist prospective students, all Belk College master’s programs also quickly pivoted to offer recruiting activities virtually, including online information sessions and personal, phone-based advisory appointments.
