HARLINGEN — UTRGV business school dean Mark Kroll has been selected as chair of the Valley International Airport board.
Kroll, dean of the Robert C. Vackar College of Business Entrepreneurship, is a professor of management at the school and oversees business curriculums at both the Brownsville and Edinburg campuses.
