El-Gazzar Shock events are sudden and unexpected events that significantly disrupt the routine operation These shock events include (but are not limited to) product recalls and have event dates that can be pinpointed a company's market capitalization is expected to decline by the present value of the expected costs of the event Prior research has documented that shock events have caused significant shareholders’ loss by tens of trillions of dollars This paper extends prior research by examining the incremental impact of management responsibilities in the event on shareholders’ wealth and the reputation repair actions taken by management to rebound the losses Industrial psychology and capital market theories state that shock events resulting from management misconduct reduce- stakeholders’ trust in the firm’s operations The magnitude and duration of the loss depends on management’s reputational repair actions.  Principles-Based Accounting Standards and Audit Outcomes: Empirical Evidence (PDF) Dr. Myojung Cho The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted after high-profile accounting scandals emerged involving firms that exploited rules-based accounting standards the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) proposed the principles-based approach to accounting standard setting which allows managers to exercise professional judgment in reporting financial transactions in a manner that is consistent with the underlying economic substance the US Securities and Exchange Commision (SEC) raised concerns that professional judgment and related management discretion under the principles-based standards might lower financial reporting quality and increase audit efforts we investigate whether the design of accounting standards (principles-based vs going concern audit opinions on a firm’s ability to continue operation Corporate Environmental Performance, Legal Origin, and Investor Protection (PDF)Dr. Kam C.

Marcus Braga-Alves and Matthew R. Morey It is well-known that IPOs tend to be underpriced this is the reason that they often change dramatically in value after the IPO is issued The underpricing often reflects uncertainty in the company and country in which the IPO is issued we study the association between this underpricing and country-level environmental we have a unique measure that identifies the particular traits of the country where the IPO is being issued countries with good ESG ratings have been found to have better governance We ask the question of whether these traits lead to better IPO pricing Global Equity Investing: An Efficient Frontier Approach (PDF)Dr. Niso Abuaf The goal of this paper is to test empirically whether emerging-market portfolios appear on the mean-variance efficient frontier investigate whether particular markets provide better diversification benefits and to ascertain if these relationships are time-invariant Cross-Border M&As and Credit Risk: Evidence from the CDS Market (PDF)Drs. Iuliana Ismailescu and Burcin Col There is an unresolved debate in the extant literature regarding the impact of domestic acquisition announcements on US bidders’ credit risk; the effect of cross-border deals is relatively unknown we focus on the latter and compare the implications of the emerging market (EM) and developed market (DM) transaction announcements on US acquirers’ credit default swap (CDS) spreads (our measure of credit risk) Our findings should be of particular interest to creditors of risky bidders that plan acquisitions in EMs especially when transactions result in majority as these have the highest negative effect on bidders’ CDS spreads All’s Fair in Love and War but Nothing’s Fair Use on YouTube: How YouTube Policies Favor Copyright Owners and Hinder Legal Fair Use (PDF)Dr. Jessica A.

Commissioner (PDF)Dr. Philip G. Cohen Jensen authored an article in the Virginia Tax Review titled ”Of Form and Substance: Tax Free Incorporations and Other Transactions Under Section 351.” Professor Jensen asserted that it was inappropriate to utilize the step transaction doctrine to determine whether the control requirement was met in a purported Section 351 transaction of the transferor’s shares even if effected by a binding contract made prior to the contribution The author of this article explains why he thinks this is incorrect This is a very important aspect of corporate taxation because Section 351 governs under what circumstances transfers to a new or existing regular corporation can avoid being taxed The Death of MODA—Or So We Hope (PDF)Dr. Mark Fichtenbaum dodged a bullet when Congress failed to enact the Modernization of Derivatives Act (MODA) at the end of 2022 While most attention to this bill focused on the year end mark-to-market provisions on all derivatives the real problem had to do with the handling of hedged positions The Type of Pharmaceutical Payments to Physicians Affects Prescription Behavior Over Time (PDF)Dr. Janice Winch The Physician Payments Sunshine Act (PPSA) from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (“Obamacare”) required pharmaceutical companies to disclose payments made to physicians raised ethical concerns regarding whether the recipients were prescribing medication in the best interests of their patients This study analyzed publicly available data from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS) to determine (1) the impact of PPSA on the industry payments and (2) the impact of these payments on the prescribing behavior of the physicians Business and/or Ethics? A Framework for Resolving Multicriteria Decision Dilemmas (PDF)Dr. E. Susanna Cahn Corporate leadership is in the unenviable position of balancing ethical choices and profit Strategic business measures are financial: profit Ethical decisions are among right and wrong outcomes or processes The inherent nature of business-ethics decisions involves multiple decision criteria Conflicting criteria create dilemmas: Sometimes ethical business decisions are profitable; sometimes ethical business decisions are more costly Organization structures can obfuscate responsibility Complex technology embeds responsibility in algorithms opaque to users In the uncertain time between idea and market and managers strategizing its introduction to the market face questions of ethics along with business goals of efficiency and profitability Crisis Remote Learning During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Global Case Study in Tourism (PDF)Dr. Claudia G. Green The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 was the world’s largest experiment in remote learning Teaching strategies and delivery methods went into survival mode at many educational institutions particularly those that were forced to cut budgets and increase teaching loads Pace University’s core curriculum requires that students take an Area of Knowledge Civic Competency (AOK1) course wherein students learn about issues impacting society and develop skills to address these issues the challenge was to change a New York City community project into a relevant global project Instead of having students identify and research sustainable tourism destinations in the New York City metropolitan area students capitalized on being in locations around the world and created a map of sustainable tourism destinations in their respective locations during the pandemic When Opportunity Meets Ability: The Moderating Effects of Prolific Inventors on Novel Drug Innovation Following Product Development Failure in Biotechnology (PDF)Dr. Donghwi (Josh) Seo product development failures are frequent due to high technological and market uncertainty these failures also present opportunities for learning and innovation This research examines how prolific inventors those with exceptional innovative performance influence a firm’s ability to pursue novel drug innovation (NDI) after experiencing product development failures Understanding this dynamic is crucial for managers in technology-driven industries aiming to optimize innovation efforts following setbacks This study offers insights for strategic human capital management and innovation planning particularly relevant for biotechnology firms and R&D professionals Fortune or Prestige?

Developing the Persistence–Licensing Response Measure to Understand, Predict, and Modify Behavior Following Subgoal Success (PDF)Dr. Canan Corus This article examines how subgoal success affects subsequent goal persistence how does succeeding at a fitness milestone affect one’s persistence at exercise subsequent to this initial success It is proposed that cognitive and emotional responses to initial success guide subsequent behavior an individual difference scale dubbed the Persistence-Licensing Response Measure (PLRM) is developed and validated This scale predicts post-success behavior beyond existing related measures As more practitioners and researchers highlight the importance of persistence in achieving goals as it builds a scale to predict such behavior Synergistic Effects of Market Orientation Implementation and Internalization on Firm Performance: Direct Marketing Service Provider Industry (PDF)Dr. Pradeep Gopalakrishna Market orientation has been studied for over three decades now market orientation has been studied primarily as a behavioral (implementation) or cultural (internalization) construct and researchers have addressed them separately The behavioral perspective views market orientation as the generation of This approach is also known as the bottom-up approach to market orientation The cultural perspective views market orientation as an aspect of organization-wide culture characterized by organization-wide adherence to values and norms central to the delivery of superior value to customers This perspective is known as the top-down approach to market orientation the authors examine the synergistic effect of both perspectives on firm performance using the direct mail service industry The importance of this research lies in the fact that several firms/industries are in the midst of transformation from physical to digital domains including the direct mail service industry Contemporary Talent Management: A Research Companion (PDF)Dr. Ibraiz Tarique Research on talent management has grown exponentially over the past several years as an important area in management Contemporary Talent Management: A Research Companion assembled over 100 academics and talent management professionals from over 20 countries to provide an in-depth examination of important topics to further develop the field Contemporary Talent Management: A Research Companion - Commentary (PDF)Dr. Patrick McGuigan Success in the knowledge economy relies more urgently on talent management in a marketplace disrupted by technology in unexpected and unpredictable ways This book brings together strategic thinkers who confront the disruption and offers a way for advanced postgraduate and graduate students and academic researchers to improve their knowledge and understanding of the implication of talent management Globalization has been amplified by rapid advances in virtual capabilities shrinking and eliminating borders for practical reasons and economic reasons those borders are very real obstacles to optimal talent management This essential resource helps readers see the scope and breadth of issues related to talent management and helps them gain insight into best practices research in the field Global Leadership and Wisdoms of the World: Unpacking Insights from 17 Language Cultures (PDF)Dr. Eric H.

Management Science Department We caught up with Katherine Richardson, PhD—associate dean for graduate programs and professor in the Department of Management and Management Science—to reflect on her 15-year journey at Pace University She shared how her experience in accounting and marketing informs her teaching; why she’s passionate about employee well-being; and how her path from corporate life to the classroom led her to leadership at Lubin Management is about planning and organization but it’s also about people and collaboration—working together to accomplish goals We all bring different skills and abilities to an organization and management includes harnessing that human capital to be most effective focused on organizational behavior and human resource management Lubin has a great location in New York City which attracts students and faculty who want to be near the action My research areas/interests are work–life balance and employee health and wellness with an emphasis on how individuals cope with change and the related stress that may result from major life and career transitions Interest in employee health and well-being has certainly grown since the COVID-19 pandemic and much of what we know about these topics has been built over 40-plus years of research there’s been a significant shift in how employees work and communicate—fueled by the use of information and communications technology It’s important to continue exploring how employees can manage workplace demands and find balance in a 24-hour connected society students learn how to prepare and plan for a negotiation These skills are helpful not just for salary negotiations but also for situations like buying a car or renting an apartment I ask students to think about a future job they would like and they are tasked with building a plan to get there—what should they be doing now to acquire the knowledge My undergraduate degree was in accounting—and my first job was as an auditor with KPMG I learned a lot and earned my Certified Public Accountant (CPA) credential but I also realized I didn’t want to continue working in public accounting I left KPMG and took a position with HBO as a financial analyst The less demanding work hours gave me the opportunity to pursue a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree part-time while still working I focused on marketing so I could broaden my skills beyond accounting and finance I left HBO and went to work for the People magazine division of Time Inc This was during the tail end of the glory days of print publishing I worked on the launch of Teen People magazine in their consumer marketing division—essentially direct marketing to grow the subscriber base and manage newsstand sales I got to work on a commercial featuring NSYNC and a very young Justin Timberlake—lol I realized I wanted to further my business education by pursuing a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) with the intention to teach at a university I’ve always liked learning and being around other curious people I chose to focus my doctoral studies on management which I felt had application to any business discipline My corporate work experience in accounting and marketing has made me a bit of a jack-of-all-trades—which can be helpful as an Associate Dean Finding balance in my work and home life was a challenge It’s difficult at times to be a working parent but academia can provide more flexibility than other jobs It helps to have a supportive partner and a community of friends and colleagues you can rely on when necessary I’ll focus on a professional triumph—the first academic paper I ever published won the Best Paper Award for that journal It was a meta-analysis on stress management interventions I’m particularly proud of it because the paper began as a class assignment in one of my doctoral classes A professor in another course dismissed the idea of organizations caring about the stress levels of their employees But at the encouragement of my doctoral advisor and co-author I stuck with the topic and continued working on the paper after the course ended and not only was it published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology but it won the Best Paper Award for 2008–2009 The meta-analysis has over 2,100 citations and still garners more than 100 citations per year I know students have a lot of worries about passing their courses and finding a job And if you wind up in an organization or profession that you don’t like—change People can have several careers over their lifetime I’m already on my third and counting—so don’t feel stuck in any job #LubinLife means we’re all connected in this great community We come from diverse backgrounds and have expertise and interest in different fields but we share a common goal

been that Lubin would indeed be back with this team in 2025-26 but it suddenly looked like he had a change of heart Lubin posted on Twitter that this has nothing to do with him being unhappy in Chapel Hill and it's not a case of him planning to leave to join another program he's entering his name in the portal to see how things play out with the NCAA settlement with a full focus on returning to UNC next season: With some key additions via the transfer portal, it felt like things were starting to look pretty dang solid for Hubert Davis and his coaching staff this Lubin news came in from out of nowhere and it's something no one was prepared for but the good news is that Lubin wasted no time in clearing things up before everyone hit the panic button 225-pounder averaged 8.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game in his first campaign working for Davis He originally signed with Notre Dame coming out of high school He really came on strong later in the year for Davis it seemed like he was going to be one and done with the team this transfer portal decision appears to be a business move that gives him some protection depending on how things go with the NCAA settlement he's in the transfer portal ahead of Tuesday's deadline to enter he'll remain with the Heels moving forward With some key additions via the transfer portal, it felt like things were starting to look pretty dang

molding him into a versatile big man out of the transfer portal this summer.  Head coach Hubert Davis sought out the 6-foot-8 forward to add depth to a UNC lineup lacking in stature And with former Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey describing Lubin as a positionless player he's now a tool North Carolina can use while Davis tinkers with his lineup.  he can guard guards out on the perimeter,” Davis said. “His versatility on the offensive end — getting to the offensive glass his ability to shoot the ball from the outside but also handle and make plays from the perimeter.”  Lubin played for one of UNC's most dominant big men in program history Lubin averaged 12.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game while leading the Commodores in field goal percentage of 50 percent he played at Notre Dame for one season and recorded the most blocks on the Fighting Irish's team But when Stackhouse was fired after a 9-23 season in 2023 He said that playing for the Tar Heel legend was an important factor in eventually coming to Chapel Hill His connection with Stackhouse — someone who knows the atmosphere coaching staff and standard at UNC — made the decision a lot easier “[Hubert] said for me during my visit that he doesn't recruit guys unless he wants and needs them,” Lubin said “He knows that he sees a great thing in me and he's always been emphasizing that ever since I visited here.” Head Coach Hubert Davis talks to junior forward Ven-Allen Lubin (22) during a time out in the second half against Johnson C Smith Center during UNC’s exhibition game on Sunday Lubin's relationship with first-year guard Ian Jackson also added an extra layer of familiarity to the transition The two played together in Hungary for Team USA at the U19 FIBA World Cup in 2023 That experience fostered initial chemistry which the two continued strengthened throughout the fall.  “I learned a lot from Ven,” Jackson said. “Ven is my dog I have a huge relationship with [him].”  Jackson noted how active Lubin is on the court in pursuit of the glass graduate Jae’Lyn Withers and junior Jalen Washington were also amazed by his athleticism over the summer.  Withers said Lubin's explosiveness caught him off guard describing a story from a preseason pickup session Withers remembered Lubin calling game with a trio of put-back dunks.  “It's kind of funny coming from him because he's been the most athletic big that I've seen so far,” Lubin said.  he curated a list of characteristics that he's seen Lubin excel in skill and strength were all attributes that make him tough to guard but also since guarding him in practice makes all the bigs better — a position the Tar Heels need to develop after former center Armando Bacot graduated.  “I feel like us playing against each other every day Regardless of how Davis decides to use Lubin or to what degree he fits into the rotation Lubin is grounded in something that transcends the scope of basketball altogether.  Lubin's faith has given him peace to trust in a greater plan regardless of where he's played over the last three seasons.  “The Lord has great plans for me and he has never failed me,” Lubin said “I believe that he is the one

York City Campus in early 1973 The two met through mutual friends at the Snack Bar and connected at a party hosted by Barbara and her friends in what is now Maria’s tower on February 3 Vincent still wonders if the invitation was because he owned a car and had to pass her parents’ house on the way in to Pace and was able to pick up the food for the party they both consider that night their first date and have celebrated it in the city every year since their first official date took them to a double feature at the Walker Theater in Brooklyn watching Night of the Living Dead and Play Misty for Me Vincent graduated from Lubin in June 1973 with a BBA in Public Accounting while Barbara earned her associate’s degree in Secretarial Studies that same year.Despite their different paths completing her bachelor’s degree in elementary education in 1975 surrounded by friends from their Pace days Barbara’s professional journey brought her back to Pace as an administrative assistant to Ruth Ferguson chair of the Elementary Education Department After earning her master’s degree from Fordham University she later taught reading in Pace’s Challenge to Achieve at Pace (CAP) program Barbara went on to Brookdale Community College where she is a full professor in the Reading Department and has served as chair of that department Vincent began teaching business law at Pace and eventually became a full-time faculty member in the Tax Department now known as Legal Studies and Taxation within the Lubin School of Business The Barrella family grew with the births of their three children—Melissa and Richard—all of whom went on to earn degrees from Pace University Vincent serves as chair of the Legal Studies and Taxation Department Both he and Barbara remain actively involved with the Pace community They are now proud grandparents who cherish time with their grandchildren and enjoy traveling As they approach their 50th wedding anniversary Vincent and Barbara’s journey reflects the

studying for their MBAs earned her dual MBA in international business/finance from Pace then later went on to earn an MS in journalism as well as a PhD in public policy and administration Her distinguished career in public policy/public health is a credit to her determination and drive to make a difference in the world an award-winning satirical film which celebrates the resilience of an intergenerational group of women working together within their social circles to fight corruption Albert Hogan '58 and Betty Stutzman '59 were two accounting majors navigating their classes at Pace University's Lubin School of Business a simple petition—and a bit of humor—set the foundation for a lifetime together who was running for president of the Freshman Student Council collecting signatures to support her campaign he signed using the name "Ben Hogan," a nod to the famous golfer what started as irritation turned into a genuine conversation they began meeting before their accounting classes getting to know one another in quiet moments between lectures After several calls where a man informed him "Betty's not here," Albert finally reached her—or so he thought This Betty turned out to be someone entirely different and Albert found himself apologizing to both her and her husband Albert went on to serve in the Army at Fort Dix (New Jersey) while Betty spent summers with her family in Ocean Grove By the time they married at City Hall in New York City across from Pace University's Civic Center building in 1962 The couple started their married life in an apartment in Elizabeth both went on to attend Pace University's Lubin School of Business From train rides and ferry commutes to long hours of study Al and Betty built a life rooted in shared values and experiences Albert and Betty's story is a reminder of how the simplest moments—a name on a petition or a shared class—can spark something extraordinary all beginning in the halls of Pace University Riya and Parth's journey from India to the U.S is a testament to partnership and ambition they navigated their master's studies and professional paths side by side including their work at the Lubin School of Business Office of Communications and External Relations—a true story of love and shared aspirations Both are Seidenberg students who met while youngsters in India Riya and Parth continue a long tradition of Lubin and Seidenberg sharing the student talent pool to place graduate assistants and student aides in various roles at both schools Pace was focused on getting women to be "career-ready" with business and accountancy training as the country recovered from World War II Dressing appropriately for the office was part of this education Albert Hogan '58 and Betty Stutzman '59 today are proud Pace alumni UNC junior forward Ven-Allen Lubin (22) shoots a free-throw against Miami at the Dean E Ven-Allen Lubin listens to Gospel music before every game.  taking his scheduled 45-minute nap and receiving his treatment regimen in the training room the junior forward slips on his headphones and queues his playlist He rotates through his songs from gospel artists like Kirk Franklin and Elevation Worship the song of the day was "Firm Foundation" by Maverick City Music Lyrics about trusting his faith through difficult times filled his ears it’s been really [about] installing peace in me,” Lubin said “And being comfortable to go out there and play.” All of which led to his fourth-straight double-digit scoring performance Lubin led the offense for the first time with a season-high 19 points on 9-of-10 shooting en route to UNC’s fifth consecutive win But Lubin’s consistency has been a work in progress.  Lubin averaged just over six points and 17 minutes After appearing in the starting lineup for four games in December he rotated off the bench for almost a month.  Junior guard Seth Trimble said there was a stretch in the middle of the season where Lubin struggled to catch the ball when the guards would pass it inside He struggled to execute around the rim.  UNC graduate guard RJ Davis (4) dribbles the ball against Miami at the Dean E Throughout one-on-one meetings with Lubin this year head coach Hubert Davis reiterated his belief in the junior forward and worked to instill confidence in him Lubin gets the “green light” to do whatever he can do.  Finding open areas for Lubin has been an emphasis in recent film sessions The Tar Heels work to read the defense to figure out how Lubin can attack the basket.  UNC has hammered on continuing to expose mismatches the Tar Heels often face in games Whenever a smaller guard switches to Lubin the junior forward will roll and get open for an easy layup or dunk.  When asked to describe Lubin in practice over the last month graduate forward Jae’Lyn Withers chuckled.  It's a rhythm that has translated to game day Over the last seven games — starting with February’s win against Pitt where he recorded a then season-high 17 points — Lubin has averaged over 12.5 points and 22 minutes an outing.  He’s shooting an efficient 69 percent It’s become a focal point of North Carolina’s game plan to get him touches.  In the opening minutes of the second half against Miami Sophomore guard Elliot Cadeau threw it over the top caught the ball and laid it in over the head of a Miami guard.  he exploited a scrambling Hurricane defense and found an open spot for another layup In only the first five minutes of the second half Lubin had already scored 10 points on perfect 5-for-5 shooting.  Trimble joked to junior forward Jalen Washington that he has come to expect Lubin to make a personal scoring run to start the half.  "It's never too much," Trimble said. "We're not expecting him to take four dribbles in the post and make a crazy play wind blew,” echoed through Lubin’s headphones on Saturday morning.  Henry and his family created the Martin Richard Foundation in honor of his brother, Martin, who passed away at the Boston Marathon in 2013. Since then, people from Boston and around the world have been running for "Team MR8" to honor Martin's simple message: "No more hurting people Peace!"

Now he enters the portal looking for his fourth team in as many years, and will have one season of eligibility left at his next destination.

eliminator between Erickson Lubin and Ardreal Holmes Jr will headline a May 10th show in Kissimmee The winner will be in line to challenge Bakhram Murtazaliev who stopped Jack Culcay for the belt last

Suarez on ESPN that evening This marks the first major test for Holmes (17-0 6 KO) a physical specimen and longtime ShoBox veteran “Bossman” has racked up three wins since Lubin eked out a hugely

Ven-Allen Lubin walked straight past the cameras coming out of the locker room.  Media flocked to the area directly beside the locker room door but the junior forward headed to a small circular table toward the back It’s the one that’s typically not as crowded.  Lubin realized the spot and the crowd was for him following his best performance in a North Carolina uniform.  I thought this was RJ Davis’ special spot,” Lubin said.  Lubin isn’t used to having all the attention He averages just under seven points per game His role this season has mostly been to come off the bench and sub in for junior forward Jalen Washington Lubin scored a season-high 17 points on a season-high eight field goals on 12 attempts This marks the fifth time Lubin has reached double figures this year The Vanderbilt transfer reached double figures 18 times last season.  After UNC was effectively run out of the gym by Duke last weekend And what better way to change than with a game plan centered on playing through the big man?  When North Carolina faced the Panthers two weeks ago the Tar Heels couldn't find good shots in the second half due to Pitt's defense putting small guards on UNC's big men. North Carolina was held to its lowest scoring half of the season notching just 21 points in the second half Lubin didn’t score a single point in the last 20 minutes.  The next time a guard tried to defend the 6-foot-8 Lubin head coach Hubert Davis’ advice was clear: Use that as an edge.  whether it’s in the post or the perimeter,” Davis said “We felt like we had an advantage in the post He talked with his teammates about it.  sophomore guard Elliot Cadeau found Lubin inside Pitt’s Ishmael Leggett — who’s 6-foot-3 — tried to defend Lubin The forward made the basket and drew the foul with it.  Lubin had more room and went for the two-handed slam.  “[It helped] just having a mindset of just knowing whenever you get that chance make sure that you take that advantage,” Lubin said And it happened two more times in succession Graduate guard RJ Davis sent a dime to Lubin Lubin once again used his size to score over Pitt guard Jaland Lowe.  Lubin rattled off nine points on four straight possessions to ignite a 12-0 UNC run.  “Establishing Ven in the post at the beginning of the game I thought that gave us life and confidence,” Hubert Davis said.  but he still worked to make his presence known. The junior racked up four more points within the first two minutes He made a layup and drew the foul with under three minutes left to play He grabbed a defensive rebound with 20 seconds remaining to prevent the Panthers from taking the lead.  “He’s playing with his best confidence of the year lately,” Hubert Davis said “Just playing with a great pace about him and making just really good reads and decisions.” Lubin made his final mark when he came up with a deflection off Pitt’s inbound with 13 seconds left “[I’m] just really trying to be more aggressive because I know that my team needs me,” Lubin said “The things I’ve always practiced and worked on day in and day out I know that’s something I can always bring to the table.” When Lubin eventually found his seat coming out of the locker room Junior guard Seth Trimble eventually exited the locker room as well Trimble noticed a different energy from Lubin He doesn’t think they would have won the game without the change.  especially when he has a little guard on him @_emmahmoon Emma Moon is the 2024-25 assistant sports editor She previously served as the Summer Sports Editor and as a senior writer Emma is

University’s Lubin School of Business about her career in both academia and the corporate world A Pace alumna with three degrees from the university she has been shaping the next generation of business leaders since 2019—first as an adjunct professor and now as a full-time clinical professor With 25 years of experience as a Wall Street executive and a background in strategic leadership she brings a wealth of real-world insight into her classroom Her teaching philosophy emphasizes critical thinking preparing students to navigate today’s rapidly evolving business landscape with confidence Management science connects all business disciplines offering leaders the tools they need to integrate and align these areas effectively Teaching management is about preparing students to become effective leaders who can handle the complexities of today’s business world Management education fosters leadership skills and I earned three degrees at Pace: BA in Language MBA in Finance and International Business (Lubin) I received a rigorous and transformative education at Pace University which not only shaped my professional journey but also instilled in me a strong sense of connection This bond with Pace inspired me to return as a professor eager to contribute to the institution that played such a pivotal role in my professional growth My research interests encompass innovation and disruptive technologies the behavioral aspects of strategic decision-making—particularly understanding why managers and business leaders make certain choices—and the crucial role of business ethics in a rapidly evolving business landscape influenced by AI and other technological trends Disruptive technologies are transforming industries at an unprecedented speed Business ethics research is especially critical in an era where technologies present boundless opportunities to propel business growth yet simultaneously pose the risk of unintended consequences that can have far-reaching and profound effects on societal well-being Ethical considerations in business are more important than ever as organizations face increasing pressure from their stakeholders—including consumers particularly in the context of new technologies My goal as an educator is to teach my students how to become effective leaders and strategic problem solvers I am a strong believer in the power of teamwork—both in the workplace and in the classroom I strive to create a classroom atmosphere of intellectual stimulation and I believe that learning is a joint effort between the educator and the student My teaching method involves engaging students in active discussions that focus on analyzing strategic and ethical dilemmas that corporations face when responding to conflicting stakeholder needs and demands Team assignments and hands-on design thinking exercises focused on urgent real-world issues provide students with the opportunity to develop teamwork and leadership skills as they practice different roles within their teams I began my corporate career as a business analyst at the New York branch of a major European bank where I underwent rotational training in areas such as controlling including director of the Global Markets division at several prominent Wall Street financial services firms where I led quantitative teams and business analysts I served as chief of staff to the CEO and as a member of the board of directors for the North American Corporate Insurance division of Allianz SE I was entrusted with overseeing the CEO/board member office spearheading the marketing and communications function and managing the firm’s administration team I ensured that critical path projects—including new product launches and cultural and technological transformations—were planned and executed effectively throughout the organization I connect my 25 years of professional experience as a manager and corporate executive on Wall Street with classroom teaching activities and I encourage my students to learn with a growth mindset When my students analyze real-world business challenges they learn how to effectively deliver their ideas and innovative solutions and how to work collaboratively with other team members I bridge management theory with real-world applications drawing on my extensive corporate experience to bring practical examples into the classroom and make concepts more relatable and impactful for my students The challenges I’ve navigated to reach where I am today have been both numerous and demanding These included balancing family life with an intense work week of up to 80 hours often accompanied by frequent business travel—all while executing strategic decisions Maintaining excellent grades to secure scholarships added another layer of pressure yet these experiences not only tested my limits but also sharpened my time management skills and unwavering determination to excel in both my personal and professional life I take great pride in mentoring employees I’ve hired at the early stages of their careers who go on to become successful executives I’m also deeply fulfilled when C-suite executives I advise and coach achieve success through the strategies we’ve developed together Embrace lifelong learning as your guiding principle Approach knowledge with the curiosity of a sponge Equally important is cultivating strong networks and relationships that support and enrich your journey #LubinLife strikes a perfect balance between academic excellence and practical implementation nurturing an environment where

Echoing US President Donald Trump’s famous words after the first assassination attempt on his life, Lubin posted: Source: Charles Hoskinson Magazine: They solved crypto’s janky UX problem — you just haven’t noticed yet I can't stress enough how badly the North Carolina Tar Heels needed to win Saturday's ACC basketball matchup as they welcomed the Miami (FL) Hurricanes to town for an early-afternoon matchup UNC entered Saturday's game with consecutive wins against Syracuse, NC State, Virginia and Florida State, climbing back into the NCAA Tournament bubble The one opponent standing between a season-long 5-game winning streak for North Carolina was Miami sitting at the ACC's cellar with just six wins overall When the final buzzer sounded inside the Dean Dome, the Tar Heels walked off their home court with a well-rounded, 92-73 victory in which six players reached double-figures Leading UNC in the scoring department was starting center Ven-Allen Lubin who knocked down 9-of-10 shots for 19 points his highest total since transferring from Vanderbilt RJ Davis added 13 and Jae'Lyn Withers totaled 11 in the starting lineup while Ian Jackson poured in 11 points and Seth Trimble contributed 10 – both off the bench “Everybody’s talented to make shots on this team," Lubin said during postgame interviews "Whenever the ball finds you at the right moment we expect them to make the shots – and just to be able to move the ball trust them to make those shots and find the right guys It's really helping us to have these double-digit games which is really just credit to all of us and trusting each other continue to move the ball and just finding an offensive flow.” Saturday was just a microcosm of his increased production over the last four games Lubin has double-digit scoring outputs in each of his last four games: 19 today There's no doubt Lubin is playing his best basketball of the season he credited his increased production to someone outside the UNC basketball program “Really just all Glory to God," Lubin said "I think just my faith in him and knowing that continue to have faith in his plans for me this season and just for the far future Really just installing peace in me and just being comfortable to go out there and play." If Lubin continues to play at his lights-out pace, North Carolina becomes even more dangerous with March Madness approaching 2025 Trump family may build ‘giant businesses’ on Ethereum — Lubin While the new president has made no announcement Consensys founder Joe Lubin pointed out some tell-tale signs including World Liberty Financial’s recent Ether purchases News COINTELEGRAPH IN YOUR SOCIAL FEEDThe Trump family may expand its involvement in the cryptocurrency industry by launching an Ethereum-based business This speculation follows the release of several Trump-branded memecoins and Donald Trump’s inauguration as the 47th president of the United States on Jan Joseph Lubin, co-founder of Ethereum and founder of Consensys, hinted at the development in a Jan. 21 post on X the Trump family will build one or more giant businesses on Ethereum,” Lubin wrote “The Trump administration will do what is good for the USA Lubin suggested that the Trump administration might eventually integrate Ethereum technology into government activities similar to its current use of internet protocols The WLFI-labelled wallet has amassed 55,341 ETH, worth over $183 million, making Ether the wallet’s largest holding after the Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) stablecoin, Arkham Intelligence data shows Related: Trump’s first week in office: Will crypto regulation take a back seat?

It’s extra motivation being able to come back home and headline,” Lubin told ”BoxingScene Today.” “Ten years ago, when I was fighting back home, I was one of the openers, but now I’m the headliner. But it wouldn’t really matter where the fight was. I make the squared circle my home.” It was back in September 2023 in Las Vegas when Lubin won a close and contentious decision over Jesus Ramos Jnr on the Saul “Canelo” Alvarez-Jermell Charlo bill in Las Vegas. “The time out wasn’t expected, but maybe it was a gift more than a curse,” he said. “I was dealing with a lot of stuff outside of boxing. I was dealing with a lot of injuries. I couldn’t take the Tim Tszyu fight during that time, so I feel like maybe I needed that time off to regroup, get myself back together. “I’m in my prime, so I’m excited to get in there and show myself and show the new things I’ve been working on, how focused I’ve been, and just make a statement to the boxing world. This is another undefeated fighter in front of me. It’s the second undefeated fighter in a row, so I’m looking to make a statement.” Ramos was 20-0. Holmes is 17-0. Lubin is a seasoned 26-2 (18 KOs), and he admitted of his last outing, “It wasn’t the best I looked in all of my fights.” The winner of Lubin-Holmes will become the mandatory challenger to IBF titleholder Bakhram Murtazaliev. The 29-year-old Lubin had been linked to a fight with Vergil Ortiz Jnr, but after saying he has taken boxing for granted at times in the past, he is keen for a statement victory. “We were looking forward to taking on that challenge against Vergil Ortiz,” he said. “I feel like I’m the best guy at 154lbs, whether people or naysayers have got things to say about it, haters got something to say about it, I feel like I’m the best at 154lbs. But I’m looking forward to seeing how it plays out. “I’ve been ranked in this division since 2015. We’re in 2025, so I’m still here. A lot of these guys have fell off, a lot of these guys ain’t here no more, a lot of these guys are retired. But I’m still here.” This website may contain adult language.
