Greetings,
Welcome to the inaugural issue of Lubin Business magazine! It is with great pleasure that I present this publication to you, as it chronicles many of the advancements we have made at the Lubin School of Business since I became dean in August 2020.
Throughout the magazine you will see stories, data, and accolades that demonstrate our commitment to excellence. Preparing students to be market-ready upon graduation is of utmost importance. Some of the ways we do this is by ensuring they are competent in their chosen fields, multidisciplinary in problem solving, ethically aware, grounded in action, trained in outcomes, and socially responsible. Our outstanding faculty and staff work alongside me to make Pace University’s tag line, Opportunitas, a reality in the lives of Lubin students. Relevance and impact, two words that carry great power and significance, are tenets of the forward looking, integrated, and experiential education that we provide. This is why our students are able to “hit the ground running” in internships, their careers, and in their own ventures.
As you turn each page, you will see compelling articles about members of the community, our new newly transformed and renovated space on the New York City Campus, the Pace Entrepreneurship Studio, our marquee C-suite events, new degree programs, faculty scholarship, and so much more.
At Lubin, we integrate analytical and entrepreneurial thinking across disciplines. This issue of the magazine places a spotlight on a few entrepreneurs/innovators that are associated with the school. Our students and alumni are in the business of creating goods and services that create value in society. We are building an entrepreneurial ecosystem that promotes, recognizes, and rewards invention, originality, and ideation.
In November 2023, we celebrated Founders’ Day, where we paid homage to Pace University’s founders, Charles and Homer Pace, as well as Joseph I. Lubin, our namesake. With great pride I conveyed to event attendees that Pace started as a school of accountancy in 1906. Pace’s origin story includes the Pace brothers’ commitment to starting a school of business education; the rest is history. With nearly 118 years of history on my side, I move forward in extension of the Pace brothers’ vision while embracing and creating opportunities that advance Lubin to higher heights.
