Turner Leaves School of Business


TurnerAfter approximately one year as dean of the School of Business, Dr. Andy Turner has submitted his resignation to PLU. Turner’s private equity firm, Northern Lights Ventures, has grown in innovative and exciting ways that were not anticipated. Essentially, Turner has been working two full-time jobs over the past year. As a result of the success of the firm, the board of directors of Northern Lights unanimously voted to request that he resign as dean of the School of Business.

Turner is disappointed that he has to leave PLU. “My biggest regret is I am unable to continue the work we began together at PLU, building a new model for business education in the region. However, you should feel very confident in the dynamic and capable leadership team and the faculty of the School of Business. I have no doubt our great work will continue and great things will happen.”

While Turner resigns as dean, he will continue to support the School of Business. “As an alumnus of the School of Business and former chair of the School of Business Executive Advisory Board, I am deeply vested in the success of the School. I will continue my strong support for PLU from the sidelines. I firmly believe that the PLU School of Business can and will be the best small business school in the West as the program continues to build on the progress and follow the path we have developed this past year.”
