On Monday, May 23, the dedicated adjunct faculty of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University were recognized and honored at a reception held on the Law School campus. During the reception, Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Law Operations, Professor Jill I. Gross, expressed her gratitude to the Haub Law adjunct faculty. Professor Gross noted that while there are many reasons why Haub Law adjunct faculty are valued, three important reasons include their quick and seamless COVID-19 responses in adapting to the unprecedented global pandemic, their professionalism, and their dedication. “You all have been so dedicated to the education and academic success of our students, especially meeting each of them individually where they are, empathizing with their struggles and celebrating their achievements,” said Professor Gross.
