Frame brings a wealth of experience in the academic and corporate world to the position. He is a former professor and chair of the political science department at Kenyon College. He also worked in corporate banking, and served as vice president and corporate treasurer of the Tonka Corporation.

He worked at PLU from 1993 to 1997, before becoming the president of Augsburg College in Minneapolis. He retired from that position in 2006.

As interim dean, Frame will work with an associate dean team in the School of Business to continue initiatives underway. Additionally, he will work closely with the executive advisory board for the school on external relations and head the search for a permanent dean.
