Image

With a BBA in Business Management from Pace University’s Lubin School of Business, a minor in Information Technology, and a 4.0 GPA as a member of the Pforzheimer Honors College, Hannah Curry ’26 is bringing academic excellence and leadership experience to her new role as an associate broker at Aon. Through an Aon internship, work with Lubin’s Center for Global Business Programs, and leadership roles with Pace’s Welcome Center and Orientation program, Hannah developed the analytical, interpersonal, and strategic skills to support clients with risk management and insurance solutions in a global business environment.

Where are you headed after graduation, and what will you be doing in your new role?

I will be joining Aon as an associate broker. In this role, I will support clients with risk management and insurance solutions by analyzing market data, assisting with client strategy, and collaborating with global insurance carriers. The role combines analytical problem-solving, communication, and relationship management in a fast-paced professional environment.

Tell us a little about yourself and what drew you to business management.

I am a business management major with a minor in Information Technology at the Lubin School of Business and a member of the Pforzheimer Honors College. Throughout my time at Pace, I balanced academics and leadership roles while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. My positions at the Center for Global Business Programs, the Welcome Center, and as an orientation leader strengthened my interests in business strategy, client relations, and leadership development.

What made your Lubin experience especially valuable?

I interned at Aon in summer 2025 and received a full-time job offer for summer 2026. I have also worked as a student assistant at the Center for Global Business Programs at Lubin since fall 2024.

How did your classroom experience and Pace resources help prepare you for this role?

I learned about the Aon internship through Pace’s Career Services. I also think my academics helped me secure my role, as I have maintained a 4.0 GPA. In addition to working at the Center for Global Business Programs at Lubin, I have also worked as a tour guide for Pace at the Welcome Center since fall 2024. In summer 2024, I was an orientation leader, and all of those experiences helped me gain leadership experience.

What advice would you give to future Lubin students?

Take advantage of every opportunity to get involved, even if it is outside your comfort zone. I was able to secure on-campus jobs and internships because I put myself out there and networked with anyone I could. You never know what doors can open for you if you do not try.
