To reduce waste, increase recycling, and decrease costs, the University will implement a centralized trash collection program on all campuses, effective Friday, September 1. Many other colleges and universities have successfully implemented this shift.

Cleaning staff will no longer remove trash or recycling from individual offices or classrooms. Centrally located trash and recycling bins will be placed in strategic locations in all buildings, marked with proper signage. Upon request, we will provide faculty and staff with trays for collecting paper during the day, which they must then bring to the central recycling bins.

This shift to a centralized program will improve the separation of waste and greatly reduce the usage of plastic bin liners while helping the University to track waste management data and meet our sustainability goals. It also provides the opportunity to increase composting at Pace—organic waste bins will be provided in cafeterias on all three campuses.

For more information or for faculty and staff to request a paper collection tray, please contact Facilities.

Arts and Entertainment Management student Angelina Johnson is pursuing her dreams. During her freshman year, she set her eyes on Nike Communications, a female-founded communications firm that markets luxury brands. As a rising senior, Angelina is now working with Nike Communications as a Luxury PR Intern—learning the ropes of the industry, networking with fellow interns and company leaders, and connecting public figures with prestigious brands.

How has the Lubin School of Business helped you prepare for your current internship?

The mentoring and connections that the Lubin School of Business has afforded me have prepared me to enter the corporate world. Everything from how to network in the office to ways to stay organized in my tasks to knowing the latest technology—I can credit Lubin for all of it.

What attracted you to this internship?

I have wanted to work for Nike Communications since my freshman year. They have a wonderful reputation and an amazing office culture.

Describe what a typical day looks like as an intern at Nike Communications.

After arriving at the office, I scan the Internet for coverage of our clients. In the morning, there are usually meetings with our team, clients, or intern catchups. Then, I assist in projects like making media lists, researching, updating servers, managing inventory, and sending samples to influencers and clients. I often eat lunch with the other interns and finish up projects towards the end of the day.

What has been the highlight or most enjoyable aspect of your internship so far?

I have loved being a part of an internship program. The Nike Communications team invests in its interns. Getting to meet and connect with other interns from different universities has been amazing!

How has this experience shaped or impacted your career goals?

As I approach my senior year, the "real world" seems to be creeping up on me. Seeing what it is like to work in a job that I enjoy all week has been helpful to me and has shown me what I hope to accomplish in an industry I am passionate about.

How will this experience impact your next semester at Lubin?

Having another internship under my belt allows me to bring yet another unique perspective to my schoolwork and classroom discussions. It will also help me in conversations with my mentor and career counselor when we discuss my post-grad goals.

Building a professional relationship with your Career Services counselor will help take the pressure off when it comes to the job search process. Meet with your mentor and discuss how to enhance your resume and network for the industry you want to go in to. You never know who knows who.

Do you have any advice for other Lubin students who would like to pursue an internship in the future?

Go to Career Services! Building a professional relationship with your career counselor will help take the pressure off when it comes to the job search process. You should also meet with your mentor and discuss how to enhance your resume and network for the industry you want to go in to. You never know who knows who.

Professor Emily J. Stolzenberg of the Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law has been selected as the winner of the 2023–2024 Haub Law Emerging Scholar Award in Women, Gender & Law for her paper Nonconsensual Family Obligations, 48 BYU L. Rev. 625 (2022). Professor Stolzenberg is an Associate Professor; she teaches Property, Family Law, Land Use, and Advanced Topics in Family Law.

Professor Stolzenberg’s research focuses on conflicts between obligation and autonomy in the fields of family law and property. Her scholarship has explored a broad range of family-related issues including the rights of unmarried partners and the privatization of dependency. Her recent scholarship has also appeared in the Maryland Law Review and the Boston College Law Review.

Professor Stolzenberg received her JD from Yale Law School, where she was an Editor of the Yale Law Journal and the Yale Journal of Law and Feminism. She also holds an M.Phil. in Political Theory from the University of Oxford and an AB from Princeton University.

Professor Emily Gold Waldman, a member of the award selection committee and the Associate Dean for Faculty Development at Haub Law, said: “Professor Stolzenberg’s thoughtful article asks important questions about whether we are over-relying on consent as a foundation for family support obligations. It critiques consent as a theoretical structure that can contribute to inequality of all kinds—both within a family and between families. This article pushes us all to think about ‘consent’ in a new way.”

About the Award

The Haub Law Emerging Scholar Award in Women, Gender & Law is presented annually in recognition of excellent legal scholarship related to women, gender and the law published by a full-time law professor with five or fewer years of full-time teaching experience. After an open call for submissions, papers are reviewed on a blind basis by members of the Haub Law faculty with expertise in this area. The Haub Law School invites the award recipient to present their winning scholarship to the Haub Law community.
