Pace University Welcomes Two New Trustees
Pace University has elected Lisa Agdern and Lynda J. Hullstrung ’89 to its Board of Trustees, welcoming two accomplished leaders with deep connections to the University and a shared commitment to expanding opportunity for Pace students.
Agdern serves as executive director of the Seidenberg Family Foundation, where she oversees grantmaking aligned with the family’s philanthropic goals and values. Her connection to Pace reflects a remarkable family legacy: her father, Ivan G. Seidenberg ’81, served on Pace’s Board of Trustees for more than three decades and is now a Trustee Emeritus. The Seidenberg family’s generosity helped name Pace’s Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems and has supported the Seidenberg Scholars Program, advancing opportunities for talented students in technology and computing.
Agdern joined the Seidenberg Advisory Board in 2024 and brings to Pace a strong commitment to philanthropy, education, and mission-driven leadership. She is also active in nonprofit work supporting a variety of healthcare fields and community organizations.
“Pace has a long history of preparing students to succeed, and I’m excited to work alongside such a dedicated and talented Board of Trustees to help build on that legacy,” said Agdern. “As higher education continues to evolve, I look forward to helping identify new opportunities that strengthen the University and ensure students continue to graduate with the education, experiences, and support they need to thrive.”

Hullstrung, a proud Pace alumna, graduated summa cum laude from the Lubin School of Business with a BBA in Public Accounting before joining Deloitte & Touche LLP, where she is now an audit and assurance partner. Over the course of her career, she has held significant leadership roles in accounting, auditing, risk management, professional practice, and client service, including work with major public companies and SEC registrants.
Her service to Pace has been extensive. Hullstrung currently chairs the Lubin School of Business Advisory Board and previously served as president and board member of the Lubin School of Business Alumni Association. Through her professional expertise, alumni leadership, and philanthropic support, she has helped strengthen opportunities for future business leaders.
“As both an alumna and a longtime member of the Lubin School of Business Advisory Board, Pace has been an important part of my professional journey,” said Hullstrung. “I’m excited to bring those experiences, along with my career in public accounting, to the Board of Trustees to help guide the University through a rapidly changing higher education landscape and position Pace for continued success.”
Together, Agdern and Hullstrung bring experience in philanthropy, finance, education, alumni engagement, and institutional service to Pace’s Board of Trustees. Their election reflects Pace’s continued commitment to leadership grounded in service, opportunity, and student success.
