PODCAST: Mike Costa Interviews Dr. Robert Dooley

  • Monday, June 16, 2025

How does a person with a philosophy and religion degree become the Dean of the College of Business? No straight path, that’s for sure. 

In this episode, Dr. Robert Dooley shares how he crossed the divide from business to academia… and how he’s now bridging that divide for students. He also discusses the evolving role of higher education in Chattanooga, and what he has learned from serving as Interim Chancellor of UTC.

Dr. Robert Dooley is the Dean of the Gary W. Rollins College of Business, as well as the Interim Chancellor at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga.
