The UConn School of Business on Friday named an interim leader to take over for outgoing Dean John A. Elliott, who announced earlier this week his plans to step down from his post.

Professor Greg Reilly, a faculty member since 2007,  has been appointed interim dean of the School of Business effective Jan. 3. He will help guide the business school as a national search for a permanent replacement gets underway in January, the school said. 

Elliott, who has served as dean for 12 years, said he plans to return to the accounting faculty.

Reilly is currently head of the Boucher Management & Entrepreneurship Department, and has spearheaded numerous initiatives to expand opportunities for students, the school said. He played a pivotal role in securing an $8 million naming gift from alumna Antonietta “Toni” Boucher, which has broadened entrepreneurship education across UConn, making it accessible to students from all majors, the school said.

He’s also played a key role in establishing and expanding the Hillside Experiential Learning Programs, which offer students hands-on investing opportunities.

“The School of Business has great momentum, and I’m committed to fostering that progress and ensuring we continue to innovate and thrive in a competitive environment,” Reilly said. “We have challenges ahead, as all of higher education does, but I have immense confidence in UConn and the School of Business.”

Reilly earned his bachelor’s degree and MBA from the University of Michigan and his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. He is married to Judy Reilly, director of the Center for Neurodiversity & Employment at UConn. 

They have four children, two of whom are UConn alumni.
