In Fall 2024, LHBS achieved significant milestones in our continuous improvement efforts, particularly in refining assessment processes and addressing areas of growth identified therein. These initiatives underscore our commitment to excellence in teaching, learning, and meaningful impact.
Our distinguished faculty continue to advance both business practice and academic scholarship. Among the highlights:
- Dr. Anna Sadovnikova was honored with the prestigious Bright Ideas Award at Seton Hall University, a testament to her innovative contributions to business teaching and research. This recognition, bestowed by the New Jersey Collegiate Business Administration Association, highlights the excellence of New Jersey’s top business educators.
- Dr. Ashley Bosonac, in collaboration with MBA student Carissa Civitello ’24, co-authored the insightful peer-reviewed article, “Catering to the Quiet and the Sociable: A Proposal for Introversion and Extraversion as Emerging Market Segments,” published in the International Journal of Business and Social Science Research. This work exemplifies our focus on integrating cutting-edge research with the student experience.
- Dr. John Buzza continues to lead transformative entrepreneurial experiential projects, empowering our students to connect theory with practice while driving innovation with societal impact.
Student excellence was recognized with the Monmouth University team awarded second place in the Kislak Real Estate Institute Challenge competing against Villanova, CUBY Baruch and Rutgers Newark.
Our students also shine in their commitment to service and stewardship. This fall, seventy local high school students participated in the Financial Literacy Program sponsored by LHBS. Our students set the curriculum, organized activities and mentored participants demonstrating the values of community responsibility, a key tenant of the LHBS mission.
These accomplishments reflect our dedication to shaping thoughtful, capable leaders who will contribute meaningfully to their fields and communities. We look forward to building upon these successes and driving forward the mission of LHBS with passion and purpose.
