10 Best Car Insurance Companies of 2022
Lubin School of Business
Larry Chiagouris: Lubin Marketing Professor Larry Chiagouris provides insights on the best car insurance for WalletHub: Customer reviews always are more important than low rates because reflected in customer reviews are the rates of the insurance company. Stated another way, low rates are not of much value if the service that is provided is inferior.
Randi Priluck: Professor of Marketing and Associate Dean, Undergraduate Studies, Lubin School of Business, Pace University. The car insurance industry spends significant dollars on television to communicate their messages to potential buyers. Progressive and Geico are the top two leading national advertisers spending on television advertising.

I'm a college president. Teaching a 101-level course reminded me how important compassion is right now.
Pace President
In their first semester at Pace University, all incoming undergraduates take a class we call UNV 101, an introduction-to-college course that teaches them how to be effective students and helps them map their Pace Path, a plan that will guide them through their four years with us and bring them to graduation ready to achieve their career goals. Each year, I teach a section of UNV 101, and I find it a valuable window into the student experience.

Pace Alumna and Faculty Receive AJN 2021 Book of the Year Award
College of Health Professions
Dr. Cooney recognizes that "There is not enough time in any basic professional educational program to provide the depth of content necessary to address patients' needs. There are many misconceptions held by patients and health care providers that interfere with appropriate pain care. The purpose of this book is to provide a resource for all health care providers to aid in filling the gap."

Pace University's College of Health Professions and Lienhard School of Nursing Clinical Associate Professor Maureen Cooney published, Assessment and Multimodal Management of Pain: An Integrative Approach, which she co-authored with Ann Quinlan-Colwell from NC. This book was recognized by the American Journal of Nursing (AJN) for the 2021 Book of the Year Awards for Med-Surgical Nursing and Advanced Practice Nursing. CHP's Dr. Elsa Wuhrman also contributed her expertise and knowledge to the book by writing a chapter.
Through her full-time position at a major medical center as a Pain Management Nurse Practitioner, Dr. Cooney is aware of the knowledge gap that exists among many health care providers in pain care for people across their lifespan. She says, "There is not enough time in any basic professional educational program to provide the depth of content necessary to address patients' needs. There are many misconceptions held by patients and health care providers that interfere with appropriate pain care. The purpose of this book is to provide a resource for all health care providers to aid in filling the gap."
The writing process was a challenging yet rewarding journey for Dr. Cooney. She not only learned more about herself but also about the importance of an integrative approach to pain care. An unexpected obstacle for Dr. Cooney was working on her typing skills. "I never should have skipped that typing class in high school!" She also discovered having an interprofessional approach to pain care as professionals from other disciplines, including physical and occupational therapies and pharmacists, contributed to the book.
Dr. Cooney is hopeful that this book will inspire her current and future students. "Pain is far more than a number on a 0-10 numeric rating scale, and pain management is far more complex than simple medication administration."
"Pain is far more than a number on a 0-10 numeric rating scale, and pain management is far more complex than simple medication administration." - Dr. Cooney
Her dream is to motivate and influence others to learn more about pain management and recognize that this is a deep and rich area of specialization for health care providers. "I also hope that my current and future students would recognize that when they find their passion, spending time and energy exploring that area of passion is not work; it is an opportunity for personal and professional fulfillment," expressed Dr. Cooney.
Dr. Cooney is a three-time Pace alum from the Lienhard School of Nursing, receiving a bachelor's and master's degree in nursing, and a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Studies in Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). Additionally, she completed the Doctor of Nursing Practice program at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Cooney has been an adjunct faculty member in the Lienhard School of Nursing for 25 years, and for the past 20 years she has taught and supervised students in the FNP program. Dr. Cooney and Dr. Wuhrman are also Clinical Co-Coordinators for the FNP program.

Dr. Cooney acknowledged that Dr. Wurhman was most instrumental in encouraging her to specialize in pain management. In her chapter, Dr. Wurhman focused on helping students to, "Understand that, as the American Society for Pain Management purports: every nurse is a pain management nurse." She hopes that this book exemplifies that principle by enabling nurses to gain confidence and apply their knowledge to all patients.

How Educators, Employers, And All Of Us Can Support 20-Somethings As Their ‘Defining Decade’ Is Redefined
Pace President
The pandemic has disrupted so many ways we’re used to leading our lives. It has changed the world of work, as more and more of us work in remote and hybrid forms. As an educator focused on career preparation—and as the parent of three kids in their 20s—I know that recent grads have always relied on connection and camaraderie to help them establish a career and build a life. In our new and changed world of work, I want to ensure that they’re still seeing the wide-open world of opportunity they’re entitled to expect as they start their lives and careers.
