Moses Named to Chair of Finance

February 23, 1994

A distinguished professor of finance with more than a quarter century of academic and administrative experience has been chosen to serve as the first Barnett Bank Chair of Finance at the Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College.

Edward Moses, who has served as a professor and director of Crummer's Executive MBA program since 1992, will officially assume his additional duties September 1. The chair was established in November 1993 by Barnett Banks, Inc., Barnett Bank of Central Florida, and Barnett Bank of Palm Beach County.

"It is fortunate that we have someone of Ed's caliber to serve the College in this capacity," said Rollins President Rita Bornstein. "We know that he will continue to add to the quality of excellence for which Crummer is known."

Before joining the staff at Crummer, Moses served as dean of the College of Business Administration at the University of North Florida. Prior to 1985, he served in various teaching and administrative positions at the University of Central Florida, University of Tulsa, Georgia State University, and the University of Georgia. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business in 1965, and his M.B.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Georgia.

"I am grateful to Barnett Banks, to the Rollins administration and to my Crummer colleagues for this honor," said Moses. "I intend to use this opportunity to further the quality of education we offer our students as well as to work with the local community in enhancing Central Florida's future."
