Tim Keenan has accepted a part-time adjunct professorship teaching Master’s-level courses at George Mason University, the Keenan & Associate CEO confirmed with us this past week.
Keenan will in his new post teach courses in the Capstone Business Case Project program of GMU’s Executive MBA, a role to which he brings more than 30 years of technical and managerial experience in designing, developing and integrating systems for the federal market. The project pits second year MBAs on an integrative learning quest to apply classroom studies to contemporary business problems. Keenan said he is excited to teach the course because he’ll get to mentor and guide students in applying the classroom concepts they have been studying throughout the course of their program.
“I have long worked with GMU, first on the Board of Advisors for the College of Science and now in a teaching capacity,” Keenan told us. “My journey with GMU has watched it develop from a commuter college to a regional school to a national university. This is very exciting and to be part of the student experience is something I have long sought.”
Keenan began his work in academia guest lecturing at Ohio State and then teaching Entrepreneurship at the undergraduate level at Georgetown University. His focus on “building technology leaders for tomorrow” according to his biography has also positioned him in partnerships with universities including MIT Sloan School of Management, the Wharton School and the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
Keenan spoke to us in 2012 about the benefits of eliminating words like “fault” and “blame” from one’s vocabulary. Read that advice here.
