Meet the Thought Leaders

Lubin Business Review (LBR) is a new publication that showcases cutting-edge faculty research that has been published in top-tier journals. The format is relevant and useful to professionals including employers and alumni. LBR will be published on an annual basis. Overall, Lubin intends to provide professionals with a value-added tool to bridge the gap between business theory and practice, and help address the challenges of their businesses.

Class of 2018 Receives Honors
Outstanding doctoral, master's, and baccalaureate students will be honored in New York City and Pleasantville this month at Lubin's Awards and Beta Gamma Sigma Induction Ceremonies. During these ceremonies, Lubin's administrative and academic leadership present the highest achieving graduates with awards acknowledging their academic, co-curricular, and professional accomplishments.

Nice Girls Can Finish First!
Fran Hauser '90, a startup investor, former president of digital at Time Inc., a women's advocate, and author of The Myth of the Nice Girl, was an Executive in Residence (EIR) on the Pleasantville campus in March. Her book strives to empower women and girls to be confident, strong, and decisive by cultivating qualities such as kindness, compassion, and empathy. Leveraging these characteristics provides tools for success in the workplace and beyond.

Summer Common Reading
This summer's common reading assigned to Pleasantville's incoming first-year students is Behold the Dreamers, by Imbolo Mbue. The novel, which won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction in 2017, will challenge students to think critically about their dreams and aspirations.
