		"Lubin offers tremendous opportunity for individuals desiring challenging, yet rewarding, careers in global finance. The comprehensive business program, coupled with quality mentorship, prepares students with necessary skills to transition from classroom to boardroom." - Arnold Yu '11 Moody's "My most impactful experience at Pace was through the Lubin Leaders program, as it gave me the opportunity to create an undergraduate thesis. Thereafter, my thesis served as a starting point for an article that Dr. Kadiyala and I collaborated on, resulting in a published article which included my name. This specifically allowed me to separate myself from the rest of those entering a very competitive and unstable job market in 2009." - Gabriella Sierra '09 Global Expense Management, Morgan Stanley
