Dyson College of Arts and Science
Pace University professor Dr. Kimberly Collica-Cox runs the program. "As we know, family tends to be the No. 1 factor in helping to reduce recidivism to provide support when people are released. It also helps to reduce future intergenerational offending patterns for their children," she says.

Faculty Spotlight: Aron Gottesman
Finance and Economics Department
We sat down for a Q&A with Aron Gottesman, PhD, Professor and Chairperson of the Finance and Economics Department, who joined Pace 20 years ago. We learned about his research interests, teaching methodology, and the "language and culture of finance."
Why finance?
Finance is a sophisticated area of investigation that involves the language and culture of finance, the ability to think abstractly and comprehend challenging concepts, and the application of quantitative analytics.
Why Lubin/Pace?
Geography: If you can make it here (New York), you can make it anywhere! Also, proximity to the most important financial institutions provides tremendous opportunities to learn and teach the application of theory to practice.
Finance is a sophisticated area of investigation that involves the language and culture of finance, the ability to think abstractly and comprehend challenging concepts, and the application of quantitative analytics.
What are your research interests/areas?
Performance measurement; the role of personality in decision making; investment products and investing strategies; and financial institutions.
Why is it important to advance research in these areas?
Research can provide important insights that help direct better decision making. For example, my coauthor and colleague Matt Morey and I recently published a paper showing that certain performance measures, known as capture ratios, are not particularly informative or useful.
What do students learn in your classroom?
They learn the language and culture of finance and learn that they can obtain knowledge of the topics we learn with total comprehension.
Tell us about your professional path and its impact on how you teach and what you teach.
My academic education including both finance and psychology. This exposure to multiple disciplines allows me to understand the mindset of students from a variety of backgrounds and helps me make sure their learning experience is meaningful.
Of which triumph are you most proud?
I'm happily married with a wonderful family!
What is the single most important lesson you'd like to impart to your students?
Don't be afraid to ask questions and take risks!
What does #LubinLife mean to you?
Lubin is a school that equally weighs teaching and research and the application of each to the other. As a business school located in such an important location (the heart of the Financial District), the excitement of the city inspires us every day.

Known as the "Festival of Colors," Holi is a Hindu festival that has been celebrated across India since ancient times. Holi heralds the arrival of spring and is a time for colorful merrymaking and joyousness.
Being a symbol of spring and rebirth, Holi has roots in India’s agricultural community, however its history comes in part from Hindu mythology. Also known as the “Festival of Love,” Holi celebrates the enduring love between Radha and Krishna. Many revelers use the season to forgive and forget and repair broken or strained relationships.

Here are some tips and tricks to help you make the most out of your Pace Holi experience:
- Wear light colored clothing that you don’t mind getting dirty.
- The color powders we’re using are natural and non-toxic, but you may want to consider wearing sunglasses to prevent powder from entering your eyes.
- To make sure the color powder washes off easily, apply moisturizer on exposed skin.
- Respect others. Holi is a celebration for everyone, but it’s important to keep personal space and comfort in mind. Please keep your hands to yourself when applying colors.
- If you are planning to record the events, be sure to put your phone in a plastic sandwich bag to protect it from damage and getting too dusty from the color powder.
