For most of Scott Perryman鈥檚 career, one could find him in various healthcare administration roles, focusing on business functions such as finance, quality, and growth. As the new chair of the 海角视频鈥檚 department of business administration and economics, Perryman is excited to use his decades of leadership and industry experience to help students bridge the gap between their application of academic learning and their future careers in business.

鈥淎t this point in my life, I think that鈥檚 what attracts me to this work,鈥� Perryman says. 鈥淚 believe business students should be prepared to go into practice in whatever area they aspire to be a part of, with practical skills versus just finishing their studies with a didactic knowledge about concepts. I have the opportunity to help with that at PUC.鈥�

Perryman recently served as a senior vice president and chief administrator of Loma Linda University Children鈥檚 Hospital in Southern California for nearly six years. He plans to combine what he has learned in the industry with the best of what he knows of academics.

Perryman is from Texas where he earned a bachelor鈥檚 in business administration in management from The University of Texas at Arlington and a master鈥檚 in business administration in finance from Baylor University. He is currently pursuing a Doctor of Psychology in sport and performance psychology from the University of Arizona Global Campus.

鈥淲hat I鈥檓 bringing to this role is a passion and drive to develop innovative ways to prepare students to enter the workforce,鈥� he says. 鈥淭hat starts very early in their educational process by giving them cognitive, ethical, behavioral, and emotional skills. Then, when they enter the workforce, they will have realistic expectations coupled with the tools to succeed and deal with the stress and pressure they will ultimately face.鈥�

One goal of Perryman鈥檚 is to encourage collaboration between the business department and other discipline areas on campus 鈥� something he calls extremely important.

鈥淧reparing students to understand other disciplines and environments can only help their future careers,鈥� he says. 鈥淚 witnessed this in healthcare 鈥� the need for professionals in different roles to understand one another better and collaborate as a team. I want to help students embrace this way of thinking, cross-collaboration, and problem-solving.鈥�

Simply put, Perryman鈥檚 ultimate goal is to not only help students thrive while at PUC but to prepare them for success even beyond their graduation.
