Neil Braun, the Dean of Pace University’s Lubin School of Business, has released a series of short videos called “Dean Talks” to provide important information to prospective and current students at Pace University. Each video is no more than two minutes long.
In one of the Dean Talks, Braun provides his answer to the question “Why Study Business at Pace University?” He focuses on the connection between the campus and the real world: “A lot of our marketing classes are actually developing campaigns for real world clients. We had an MBA class that did a project for the New York Stock Exchange”. He observes that Lubin values experiential learning and tries to give students the chance to gain substantial experience in the business world before graduating.
A few other Dean Talks focus on prospective students, including “Graduate Business Programs at Pace University,” and “Entrepreneurship at Pace University.” The Dean also encourages current students to come talk to him with a video about his open door policy. Another called “Networking, Cover Letter, and Resume” provides advice on searching for jobs that would be useful to all people considering a career in business. All of the videos have been posted on the Dean Talks page.
Dean Braun was reappointed as the Dean of the Lubin School of Business in August 2013. He first became Dean of the school in 2010 after 10 years on the Board of Overseers at the University of Pennsylvania. During his tenure, the Lubin School created an Arts and Entertainment concentration for Management students and an Entrepreneurship lab. In 2012, Dean Braun was featured in the National Association of Corporate Directors’ “100 People to Watch” list.
