Dear Zicklin Community,
As the Class of 2020 approaches commencement, we congratulate them on their hard work and sacrifice, especially in these unprecedented times. They’ve managed to complete rigorous degree programs amid the pandemic, and now they’re eager to advance in their careers.
Since the School of Business was founded more than 100 years ago, our success has been because of our commitment to providing superior business education that is both accessible and impactful, and our students’ drive to fulfill their hopes and dreams.
I hope all of us in the Zicklin community will think of our newest graduates and support them whenever possible. The world needs their leadership now more than ever
Sincerely,
—Fenwick Huss, Willem Kooyker Dean, Zicklin School of Business
