Stuart Mann Appointed Dean at UNLV's 
Wm. F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration
 
Las Vegas, July 1998 - Stuart H. Mann, the director of the School O Hotel, Restaurant, and Recreation Management at Penn State University, will join UNLV in August, 1998 as dean of the William F. Harrah College of Hotel Administration. At Penn State since 1970, Mann has served as director of the hotel, restaurant, and recreation management school since 1990. He has held several other positions at Penn State, including assistant dean for research and graduate studies in the college of Human Development, head of the Man - Environment Department, and chair of the Intercollege Program in Operations Research. He also taught operations research at Penn State and Purdue universities, publishing more than 30 articles and papers in refereed journals.

Mann has been president of SHM Consulting Associates, Inc., in State College, PA, since 1971. In that position he provides management science methods and services to a wide variety of public and industry clients. He received the Ph.D. And master of science degrees in operations research from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and the bachelor of science in mathematics from the University of Illinois, Urbana.

"We believe that it takes a special person to lead our internationally known College of Hotel Administration, and I am confident that we have found that  person in Dr. Mann," President Carol Harter said. "his extensive experience in higher education administration and as a consultant to business and governmental clients convinced us that we identified an excellent new dean."

Mann will be the third dean in the college's history. The first was Dr. Jerry Vallen who is retiring this year after more than 30 years of service to the college. The current dean, David Christianson, who has served since 1989 and who will assume the Harrah Distinguished Chair on July 1, will return to teaching this Fall.
