He will be responsible for developing the strategy of the program, overseeing the academic curriculum, coordinating program faculty and designing enriching experiences for the students.
“We are excited to welcome Albert to this new role within the college,” said Juan Manuel Sanchez, associate dean of graduate studies and research. “Building upon the great foundation of this program, Albert will be charged with continuing to enhance the reputation and reach of the program throughout Texas.”

“I’m excited for this opportunity and looking forward to working with this exceptional group of students,” said Huang, who also teaches organizational behavior in the program. “The students come in with a variety of management and leadership experiences, and we’ll be able to learn from each other. I plan on building on the reputation of the EMBA to make it the program of choice for our community.”
