MS in Human Resources Management

Pronouns: He/Him/His

Throughout his life, Steven Anglade '23 has made it a point to seek out quality education—that's why he enrolled in the Lubin School of Business' MS in Human Resources Management program. Between his desire to constantly learn new things and the knowledge he gained as a Lubin student, Steven is now successfully taking on the world of human resources, ensuring the prospective and current employees are getting the best experience possible.

Why did you choose Pace University and the Lubin School of Business?

Being a Haitian-American born and raised in Brooklyn, I was always fortunate enough to take advantage of the opportunities and resources I was provided and given access to by a single mother who prioritized quality education. To reflect on her priority, I promised myself to take advantage of what the Big Apple has to offer, including gaining access to a nationally ranked university that prides itself on transforming lives through opportunities for students. In addition to the convenient location in the heart of the Financial District, I chose the Lubin School of Business for the reputation of its faculty, being a globally recognized leader in the world of business education, and its successful track record of alumni. I knew my return on investment would not just be a second graduate degree but a promising career ahead.

What attracted you to Lubin's MS in Human Resources Management program?

Since completing my bachelor's degree, most of my professional experience has been in human resources management in the private sector within non-profit organizations. After earning my MPA from Long Island University, I wanted to take my education one step further because I knew there was additional knowledge that would help me excel in this industry. The curriculum within Lubin's human resources management program focuses on developing leaders. In addition to this school being one of the few in the country to have dual AACSB-accreditation, the human resources management program is known for its alignment with the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), which gives students a competitive advantage to apply the best practices towards organizational talent. Therefore, as an HR professional, I knew that from an academic perspective, I would gain the tools necessary to advance in this career field.

You recently accepted an offer as a Talent Acquisition Specialist for a non-profit. How have your classes at Lubin prepared you for this role?

My classes at Lubin allow me to apply theory to practice to bring value to organizations when it comes to the management and retention of employees. Specifically, my favorite class, Recruitment and Staffing (MGT 685), with Professor Lisa Dash-Grimes, taught me valuable knowledge and concepts that I needed to thrive in this field. After completing this course, I took full advantage of what Professor Dash-Grimes taught me and applied it to my everyday business practices to grow in the field of recruitment. I also took Leading and Managing Teams ((MBA 814) with Professor Eric Kessler, PhD, which motivated me to pursue leadership opportunities. In a recent interview, the hiring managers were not only pleased with my professional experience but also impressed with the knowledge and theories I gained at Lubin.

What are some skills you gained at Lubin that you will bring with you into your new role?

Lubin has recognized my full potential and has pushed me outside of my comfort zone to help me thrive in this field. As a Lubin student, I had the opportunity to earn a Compensation Analyst Credential (CAC) while taking a related course with Professor Matt Renna. In preparation for this certification, I was able to learn more in-depth about the value of successfully administrating total rewards packages throughout organizations. This certification has given me the knowledge necessary to discuss and explain benefits packages to prospective candidates to attract and retain talent throughout organizations.

What has been your favorite opportunity at Pace?

My favorite opportunities include gaining access to resources such as LinkedIn Learning as an additional tool and attending lectures and networking with guest speakers and alumni, such as the Dean's Roundtable with Dean Lawrence G. Singleton, to learn what life is like in the corporate world.

Use your time wisely by taking advantage of the resources offered for development. You are in a competitive place where you have access to resources that will enhance your growth. If you have the time, get involved!

Do you have any advice for other Lubin students?

My advice for other Lubin students is to use your time wisely by taking advantage of the resources offered for development. You are in a competitive place where you have access to resources that will enhance your growth. If you have the time, get involved!

What does #LubinLife mean to you?

When I think of #LubinLife, I think of opportunity and social networking. From grabbing your favorite drink at Starbucks on Park Row or in our cafeteria with friends, to discussing business development initiatives or ideas in our Lubin Lounge, to taking a walk through City Hall Park while connecting with other students, we are truly surrounded by both opportunity and networking initiatives.

Pace hosts ceremony during halftime of its first home football game to celebrate Westchester's first NCAA championship

Pace University on Saturday honored its women’s lacrosse team for their momentous and historic season that ended with the team winning the 2023 Division II National Championship.

As part of the ceremonies, members of the team were recognized in front of an exuberant crowd at halftime of the Pace football game at Northwell Stadium in Pleasantville where the winning championship banner was unveiled.

“It’s incredibly gratifying to be recognized before so many people who have been supportive to us in our exciting national title run,” said Head Coach Tricia Molfetta, who is beginning her seventh season with the team. “This year has been marked by numerous unprecedented milestones for our program, and this conclusion feels like the perfect culmination of our extraordinary season. I am so grateful we were able to end our year in such a monumental way and I know the experience today will be one this team will share with their friends and families for the rest of their lives.”

In addition to Saturday’s festivities, the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge was illuminated in Pace blue and gold Saturday evening. Additionally, Westchester County memorialized the historic accomplishment by proclaiming September 12, 2023 as “Pace University’s Lacrosse Team National Champions Day.”

Citations, letters, and proclamations from Gov. Kathy Hochul, Senate Majority Chuck Schumer, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, New York Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, County Executive George Latimer, Assemblywoman MaryJane Shimsky, County Legislator Margaret Cunzio, Town of Mount Pleasant, and the Village of Pleasantville were also presented to the team.

“The women’s lacrosse team consists of outstanding student athletes—a committed and talented group of young women who are as impressive in the classroom as they were on the playing field,” said Pace President Marvin Krislov. “The skills they learned in training rooms and on practice fields, and discipline they displayed on the field, will serve them well throughout their lives and their careers. They worked remarkably hard to become national champions, and we couldn't be prouder to honor them today.”

In defeating previously unbeaten West Chester, 19-9, in May, the Setters made history by winning the school’s first-ever national title and becoming the first school in Westchester County to earn such honors. The 19 goals scored by the Setters were the most-ever scored in a DII Women's Lacrosse championship game, and they are the first NCAA collegiate team in Westchester County to win a National Championship.

The Setters, who finished the season ranked No. 1 in the nation with a 21-2 record, won a staggering 17 games against ranked opponents during the 2023 season, including a Golden Rams team that came into the National Championship game a perfect 22-0 on the year. In June, they joined college athletes from across the country representing all three NCAA divisions—national championship winners—that were recognized at the White House as part of the inaugural "College Athlete Day."

“These exceptional student-athletes exemplify the relentless drive and determination that characterizes the Pace spirit,” said Athletics Director Mark Brown. “The Pace community takes immense pride in their remarkable achievement, and commencing the school year by honoring them at Northwell Stadium is a wonderful way to start. The recognition bestowed upon the women's lacrosse team is well-deserved, as being the first school in Westchester County to secure a national championship is indeed a cause for celebration.”

“I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to share this remarkable experience with my entire team,” said Angelina Porcello, National Player of the Year, of Eastchester, N.Y. “I am overwhelmed with gratitude that my senior year has begun on such a monumental note.”

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University is pleased to announce that the 2023 Elisabeth Haub Award for Environmental Law and Diplomacy will be jointly awarded to Ambassador Marja Lehto of Finland and former Ambassador Marie Jacobsson of Sweden for their pivotal roles advancing environmental law and policy to protect the environment in times of armed conflicts.

Ambassador Lehto is Senior Expert on Public International Law for the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland and, until recently, Ambassador Jacobsson served as Principal Legal Adviser on International Law, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Sweden. While Members of the UN International Law Commission (ILC), both served successively as Special Rapporteur for the topic of the “Protection of the Environment in Relation to Armed Conflict.” In this role they worked tirelessly for a decade to develop the Draft Principles of International Law to Protect the Environment in Times of Armed Conflicts (PDF) and then skillfully led the adoption of the draft principles by the ILC and their acceptance by the United Nations General Assembly in 2022.

The principles lay out the urgent need and common objectives to reinforce and advance the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of the environment for present and future generations, specifically with respect to the protection of the environment before, during or after an armed conflict, including in situations of occupation. Remarkably, over the years, more than 60 States engaged with the topic, offering support and observations as did international governmental and Non-Governmental organizations.

“We are honored to recognize two exemplary women for their groundbreaking work and leadership developing principles that will guide and protect the future of our planet,” said Horace E. Anderson Jr., Haub Law Dean and President of the Haub Award Jury. “The Elisabeth Haub School of Law’s No. 1 ranked environmental law program is committed to advancing the rule of environmental law across the globe and to developing the skill, knowledge, commitment and passion for the cause that both Ambassador Lehto and Ambassador Jacobsson so admirably demonstrate.”

The prestigious Elisabeth Haub Award for Environmental Law and Diplomacy was established in 1997 by the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, in cooperation with the Haub Family, to honor the legacy of Elisabeth Haub (1899–1977), a noted philanthropist and advocate for strong laws for the conservation of nature. The award was first established to commemorate the 25^th anniversary of the United Nations Stockholm Conference and the 5^th anniversary of the United Nations Rio de Janeiro Earth Summit and is considered the world’s most distinguished award in the field of environmental law. Chosen annually by an esteemed jury, the award recognizes the innovation, skill, and accomplishments of lawyers, diplomats, international civil servants and other advocates who work to create the world environmental order.

“Through the prestigious Elisabeth Haub Award for Environmental Law and Diplomacy we aim to recognize the tireless efforts of two bold women whose leadership, insight, and commitment are making a difference in our fight to create a more sustainable world,” said Pace University Trustee Liliane A. Haub. “The importance of protecting the natural environment and its vital resources during and after armed conflicts has becoming increasingly important, and their work will have an important impact on our humanity, especially for those whose countries are in disarray.”

“The principles respond to a long-time quest for a consolidated legal framework for the protection of the environment in armed conflicts. Their temporal scope derives from the recognition that to be effective, protection of the environment has to be continuous: before, during and after armed conflict,” said Ambassador Marja Lehto. “The conferment of the prestigious Elisabeth Haub Award to this work amplifies the message that the environment is no more a silent casualty of war.”

“The war on aggression against Ukraine has clearly demonstrated the need and complexity in managing environmental challenges in times of an armed conflict. Such challenges do not stop when a war is over. The principles clearly show that post-conflict rebuilding and repairing cannot be left to a war-torn State, but require cooperation of the international community”, added Ambassador Marie Jacobsson. “The Elisabeth Haub Award illustrates the necessity of post-conflict environmental peace-building.”

The ceremony for the 2023 Elisabeth Haub Award for Environmental Law and Diplomacy honoring Ambassador Marja Lehto and Ambassador Marie Jacobsson will take place on Monday, October 23 at 4:00 p.m. EST and be broadcast virtually.
