Cause

Dr. Jeffrey Krug joined Bloomsburg University as Dean of the College of Business on June 1, 2015. He quickly established himself as an innovative leader and accomplished fundraiser. In February 2016, Krug secured what became the largest single donor gift in the university's history. He followed this success in August 2016 by obtaining the largest donation in Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) history from Terry and JoAnn Zeigler, leading to the naming of the Zeigler College of Business. During his tenure as Dean, Krug launched several successful initiatives. He established new MBA and certificate programs in downtown Philadelphia, rebranded the main campus MBA program, and secured an exclusive agreement with the Pennsylvania National Guard. Krug also created a financial literacy initiative for K-12 students and established the Global Business Institute and Entrepreneurship Leadership Center. He introduced new academic programs in supply chain management, international business, personal financial planning, and professional sales. Based on his outstanding performance, University President David Soltz granted Krug tenure on September 14, 2016, and reappointed him as Dean for the 2017-2018 academic year.
