BOZEMAN - Montana State University says Richard Semenik is stepping down as dean of MSU's College of Business, effective Aug. 1.

He will be replaced by an interim dean, Dan Moshavi, an associate professor of management in the College of Business. Semenik was appointed dean in July 2000 and said in a statement Wednesday he decided to leave the post because the timing was right. He will continue as a professor in the College of Business and plans to teach marketing courses in the spring semester of each year. He also plans to do consulting in branding and advertising strategy.

Moshavi has been on the MSU faculty since August 2000 and has been the recipient of several university awards for outstanding teaching.
