What attracted you to Pace?

What truly defines Pace for me is the people. The warm and welcoming environment here at Pace is what drew me in and has kept me deeply connected to this institution. The strong sense of community I feel both within the departments I have worked in and those I collaborate with is unmatched by any other organization I’ve been a part of. I’ve had the privilege of working with so many incredible people, and their genuine willingness to help has left a lasting impression on me.

How do you contribute toward the success of Pace?

I am fortunate in my role to be able to assist so many different teams and processes in a way that is unique to me. I provide administrative support in UKG, enhancing existing workflows and creating new processes to make everyone’s day-to-day a little more efficient. Through these efforts, I help drive Pace’s success by bridging productivity gaps and ensuring smooth operations, whether in HR or beyond.

What is your favorite part about your job?

My favorite part about my job is most definitely getting to interact with the awesome people in the HR Department! I genuinely look forward to meetings with any members in our department because I know I’ll be leaving that meeting with a smile From the very beginning, I felt truly welcome, and I’m grateful for the many opportunities to give back through my new role.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time to relax?

Recently, my go-to recreational activity has been reading! I’ve always been very into fantasy and the world-building that comes with that, so enjoying a nice book with some calming music in the background is like a dream for me. (I’m open to any recommendations!)

What would be your ultimate getaway vacation destination?

My dream vacation destination has always been Japan! The vibrant food scene, rich musical heritage, stunning art, and deep-rooted culture have always captivated me, and I’d love the chance to immerse myself in it all. Experiencing the efficiency of Japanese cities firsthand would be fascinating, especially when comparing them to the bustling energy of New York. One day I’ll make my way over there!

He served as vice president of Haub Law’s First-Generation Law Students Association (FGLSA) and LAMBDA Law Students Association, demonstrating his commitment to building inclusive spaces and supporting diverse communities. As the equity, diversity, and inclusion editor for the Pace International Law Review (PILR), he worked to ensure that articles selected for publication reflected a broad range of perspectives and upheld inclusive, thoughtful language. He also helped pave the way for future contributors by mentoring first-year law students and introducing them to PILR’s mission and editorial work.

Jonathan has demonstrated his commitment to community service through a range of hands-on legal experiences. He has volunteered with the Welcome Legal Alliance’s Refugee Asylum Assistance Program as well as the Compassionate Release Program, which supports attorneys advocating for federal inmates seeking compassionate release. Most recently, he interned with the Fairbridge Investor Rights Clinic, where he represented clients in securities arbitrations and mediations before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). He also served as a student speaker at the 2025 SEC Investor Advocacy Law School Clinic Summit at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Jonathan’s academic achievements have earned him numerous honors, including a merit scholarship, a Pace Trustee Tuition Grant, and the Barbara Klein Award. He will graduate with cum laude honors.

Graduating with a BA in political science and peace and justice studies, Layne has maintained a remarkable 3.97 GPA while pursuing a demanding academic path. Her capstone project, Best of Both Worlds? Understanding Black-White Biracial Identity Formation in Pace University Students Navigating a Predominantly White Institution, has received acclaim at prestigious conferences, including the Student Peace Conference at the University of Notre Dame’s Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies.

Layne’s impact extends far beyond the classroom. As a United Nations Millennium Fellow, she facilitated critical dialogue on Title IX policies and, in fall 2024, delivered a youth statement on disarmament at the UN First Committee. Her internships with ACT Alliance and the Transparency, Accountability, and Participation (TAP) Network further strengthened her advocacy for UN Sustainable Development Goal 16: peace, justice, and strong institutions.

On campus, Layne has been a standout leader.

A powerhouse on the Pleasantville Campus, Brianna Shea has demonstrated what it truly means to be a Setter: achieving excellence in academics, athletics, leadership, and service.

Graduating with a BA in applied psychology, Brianna has earned a strong 3.84 GPA while taking on high-profile leadership roles in the Pace Community. Known affectionately as “Shea” to her teammates, she has been a star player for Pace Softball, recognized as a Northeast-10 First Team All-Conference Athlete, a First Team All-Region Athlete, and a three-time Scholarly Athlete Award recipient.

Brianna’s impact doesn’t end on the softball diamond. As president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and a Student Government Association athletic senator, she’s been a tireless advocate for student-athletes—leading community initiatives like a campus-wide toy drive and uplifting Black student-athletes through Black History Month programming.

Beyond athletics, Brianna has served as a peer mentor at the Learning Commons, helping her fellow Setters thrive academically. Off campus, her experiences as a special education aide and school psychology intern have further fueled her passion for psychology, building lasting connections and preparing her for a future of service and leadership.

Celebrating the Best of Pace

A Celebration of Service at Commencement

Pace University will celebrate Jasmine Cintron-Soto and Jamie-Lynn Figueroa at the 2025 Commencement ceremonies—recognizing their extraordinary contributions and the positive change they inspire.

Congratulations to our 2025 Community Service Award recipients!

There’s a special kind of energy that fills our campuses in May—the buzz is building.

You can feel it in every final presentation, every group huddled over laptops in the library, and every student walking the halls in cap and gown for photos. Commencement season is here—and I couldn’t be more excited.

It’s one of my favorite times of year. Not only because it marks the culmination of years of hard work and dedication from our students, but because it’s a moment when the entire Pace Community comes together to celebrate all that we’ve accomplished—together.

This year’s lineup of Commencement speakers reflects the ambition and talent that define the Pace experience. We’ll be joined by Josh Silverman, CEO of Etsy, who will share his insights at our Main Ceremony. Golden Globe–nominated actor and Pace graduate Cooper Koch (’18) will speak to students from Dyson, Sands, and the School of Education. Dr. Launette Woolforde (’93), a nationally recognized nurse leader and proud Pace alumna, will address graduates from Lubin, the College of Health Professions, and Seidenberg. New York City Fire Commissioner Robert Tucker (’96) returns to Haub Law, his alma mater, to help honor this year’s law graduates. And Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi, will offer her perspective to graduate students from Seidenberg.

Their voices—thoughtful, creative, and full of heart—embody the spirit of Opportunitas that defines a Pace education.

Most of all, I’m looking forward to seeing you—our graduates—walk across that stage. To seeing your families and loved ones beam with pride. To celebrating your grit, your ambition, and your incredible journey as Pace students and now alumni.

You did it. You’re ready for what comes next. And I can’t wait to cheer you on.

See you at Commencement.

Pace University's Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems Interim Dean, Dr. Li-Chiou Chen, has been highlighted and included in the official City & State New York’s inaugural Asian Trailblazers list.

Lawrence G. Singleton Concluding Term as Dean of the Lubin School of Business

Image

Lawrence Singleton will conclude his term as Dean of the Lubin School of Business on August 31, 2025. Having served as Dean since August 2020, his tenure has been marked by a period of innovation and significant fundraising, including the establishment of a new endowed professorship, support for accounting co-op students, and student scholarships.

“Larry is a forward-looking leader with a sharp focus on how business and business education are evolving. His dedication to providing students an unmatched academic experience has led to new ideas and important changes to business education at Pace University,” said Lynda Hullstrung ‘89, Chair of the Lubin Advisory Board. “Larry has excelled at setting Lubin in a good place for future growth.”

Having started during the height of the COVID-19 global crisis, Singleton’s first two years at Lubin were marked by social distancing, masks, and meetings on Zoom. Singleton successfully led Lubin through this uniquely challenging time by working with faculty leaders to benchmark all of Lubin’s undergraduate and graduate programs and making needed changes to prepare Lubin for the future.

Singleton dramatically increased the school’s visibility through enhanced promotional efforts. He launched Lubin Business magazine to promote the school and restarted the Lubin Business Review (mothballed since Covid) to popularize faculty academic research. He also dramatically increased Lubin’s use of social media and online videos. He used these vehicles to promote everything, from faculty research to engaging current students and recruiting new ones.

During Singleton’s tenure Lubin raised more funds than during any previous Pace University deanship, including a gift to establish the Mario Gabelli Endowed Anthony R. Pustorino Professorship in Accounting, a multi-million-dollar endowment for accounting student support, and a major planned gift from a Lubin alumnus. He also raised significant funds to support student scholarships, both endowed and current use.

He put in place a process that required new program proposals to include well-reasoned proforma financial plans and external validation, and sunsetted many programs that were underperforming. Under his leadership Lubin developed new STEM programs, with a particular focus on graduate programs. These programs are particularly attractive to international students due to the opportunity for three years of Optional Practical Training in the United States, and Lubin is experiencing a great deal of success.

Lubin’s new MS in Accounting Data Analytics and Technologies program experienced over a seven-fold increase in applications. He also led the effort to develop other STEM programs with analytics themes. These programs provide significant new revenue streams while building the university’s reputation abroad.

Lubin developed a new interdisciplinary BBA in Business Technology (BizTech) and MS in Financial Operations and Technology (FinTech) programs in partnership with the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems. These interdisciplinary programs strengthened faculty collaborations across schools while simultaneously addressing market demands.

He also raised significant funds to support student scholarships.

Singleton developed relationships with the New York area business community that provided opportunities for students across the university. He brought the Renewable Energy Conference – A Leadership Forum on Energy Policy, recognized as the premier renewable energy conference on the East Coast, with him to Pace. Partners include The Business Council of New York State (the leading business organization in New York State, representing the interests of large and small firms throughout the state) and The Hudson Renewable Energy Institute.

He partnered with The Business Council of New York State and the Business Council of Westchester to develop the Pace Business Poll that assesses the business climate in downstate New York, including the New York City metro area. This builds Pace’s brand while providing students additional opportunities to interact with businesses in the area. Singleton expanded Lubin’s Small Business Development Center into Brooklyn, extending Pace’s reach beyond Manhattan and further building its reputation in New York City.

Singleton successfully leveraged Pace’s New York location for the benefit of students in many ways. Lubin hosted Bill Ackman, CEO of Pershing Square Capital, for a finance focused event, and Tim Ryan, then PwC US Chair and Senior Partner, for a fireside chat focusing on DEI initiatives in his firm. He also recruited new members to the Lubin Advisory Board who are leaders in their fields.

He regularly hosts Dean’s Roundtable and Executive in Residence programs to successfully engage successful alumni and other New York area leaders and provide additional opportunities for engagement and philanthropy.

Larry is a forward-looking leader with a sharp focus on how business and business education are evolving. His dedication to providing students an unmatched academic experience has led to new ideas and important changes to business education at Pace University,” said Lynda Hullstrung ‘89, Chair of the Lubin Advisory Board.

Under Singleton’s leadership Lubin provided significant experiential learning via Lubin’s Center for Student Enterprise, which provides experiential learning opportunities for students on Pace’s Pleasantville campus. The newest student run business, the Pace Business Poll, provides students an opportunity to solicit opinions about important issues facing businesses in downstate New York.

He worked with Sixth Street Partners to develop the Wall Street Acceleration Program that engages investment banking professionals and provides additional banking opportunities for finance students and oversees a Winter Internship Co-Op Program that allows accounting students to work full-time at Big Four and other firms without falling behind in their studies. Students earn while experiencing what public accounting is like during the traditional busy season.

Singleton joined the Lubin School of Business from Marist College (Now Marist University), where he was Dean of the School of Management and Professor of Accounting and International Business. He previously served as Associate Dean for Undergraduate Programs and accounting faculty member in the School of Business at The George Washington University. He has also held faculty positions at Peking University in China and Grenoble School of Business in France. He is a Certified Public Accountant (Virginia) and Certified Global Management Accountant and has significant industry experience. He worked in the Washington office of Ernst & Young (EY) and has consulted with many leading organizations in many industries, including Nasdaq, Harley Davidson Motor Company, Siemens and Roche.

Singleton has served on numerous nonprofit boards, including Beta Gamma Sigma (Audit Committee Chair), the Mid-Atlantic Association of Colleges of Business Administration (President), the Mid-Atlantic Region of the American Accounting Association (President), the Human Resource Certification Institute (Finance Committee Chair) and The Hudson Renewable Energy Institute.

At the conclusion of his term, Singleton will take a sabbatical to focus on entrepreneurial ventures.
