Sandeep Mazumder, an Indian-origin economist, has been elected as the ninth president of Berry College by the Board of Trustees. He will officially assume his role on July. 1, 2025, succeeding president Steve Briggs.
Currently the dean of Baylor University’s Hankamer School of Business, a position he has held since 2021, Mazumder brings a wealth of academic leadership to Berry. Prior to Baylor, he served as professor and chair of the department of economics at Wake Forest University.
Mazumder's expertise spans macroeconomics, monetary economics, international monetary economics, and time-series econometrics. His research has largely focused on U.S. inflation dynamics and the Phillips Curve. He has published over 30 articles in respected journals, including the Journal of Economic Literature, the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity, and the Journal of Money, Credit and Banking. In 2022, Mazumder co-authored the textbook Money, Banking, and Financial Markets: A Modern Introduction to Macroeconomics.
John Coleman, chair of the search committee, noted that the selection process involved reviewing over 175 candidates. "Dr. Mazumder’s leadership and vision, combined with his deep understanding of economics, set him apart from a strong pool of candidates," Coleman said.
Mazumder’s ability to communicate and align with Berry College’s mission of educating leaders with integrity was a key factor in his appointment. According to Rick Gilbert, chair of the board of trustees, “Dr. Mazumder shares Berry’s commitment to an education that serves not only the mind, but the heart and hands as well.”
Mazumder will work with Berry’s faculty and current president Steve Briggs to ensure a smooth transition.
