Rich Lyons, an established economist, former dean of the Haas School of Business and the campus's current leader for innovation and entrepreneurship, will become the next chancellor at the University of California, Berkeley, the UC Board of Regents announced today (Wednesday, April 10).
He attended Berkeley, where he graduated in 1982 with a Bachelor of Science degree in business and finance. Lyons went on to earn his Ph.D. in 1987 in economics from MIT. After six years teaching at Columbia Business School, Lyons returned west, where in 1993 he joined the Berkeley faculty as a professor of economics and finance, specializing in the study of international finance and global exchange rates.
Haas School of Business Dean Rich Lyons entertained 7,500 new Berkeley freshmen and transfer students with a rocking rendition of "The Bare Necessities" (or in this case, "The Bear Necessities") at convocation on August 15, 2017. The delighted crowd clapped along.
