How do money and time affect people’s behavior? What is our human nature? And how do you use incentives to truly motivate people?

“Our real-world impact—from our faculty’s research to the knowledge our students and alumni bring to companies and organizations—is what sets Rady apart,” said Rady Dean Lisa Ordóñez. “We’re looking forward to celebrating this milestone with our faculty, students, alumni, donors and business partners who, together, have helped us forge new paths and make transformative discoveries that enrich society.”
Since launching in 2003, the Rady School has graduated more than 3,500 alumni and its students have founded more than 330 companies. Under Rady’s inaugural dean, Robert Sullivan, the school quickly became a respected business school in the region and the country. Its programs expanded beyond the MBA, with graduates in accountancy, finance and business analytics impacting the San Diego region and beyond.
During Dean Ordóñez’s four-year tenure, Rady has continued to grow and draw top research faculty, including seven focused on the intersectionality of business and an inclusive economy. The school now has seven graduate programs and three undergraduate majors shared with other schools, including one of the university’s most popular programs: the B.S. in Business Economics. Under Ordóñez’s leadership, the school has enacted a strategic plan focused on facilitating faculty research, enhancing the student experience and growing its partnerships within the region’s robust biotech and start-up community.
