“Ron Green loved the Baker School of Business and served its faculty and students with distinction for many years,” said Michael R. Weeks, Ph.D., dean of the Baker School of Business. “He was instrumental in planning for our new business building and many curriculum improvements implemented over the past few years. We will greatly miss his smile and his enthusiasm for our community.”
