A NOTE FROM THE DEAN
Career development remains central to our student experience. Our expanding Career Fairs, in collaboration with CCPD, continue to connect students with premier employers. New externships in Real Estate (New York) and Women’s Leadership (Boston), along with immersive programs in Nepal and London, further expanded global perspectives. We also welcomed several outstanding new faculty whose research and teaching are shaping the future of business education. Our inaugural “Teaching Firm” partnership with Shawmut Design and Construction exemplifies our commitment to experiential learning, offering students real-world insight directly in the classroom. Globally, our MBA students took part in a consulting immersion in Greece, while CAFÉ students navigated a volatile financial year and presented their insights to executives both in the U.S. and in London. As we prepare to celebrate another graduating class, I extend my deepest gratitude to all who make this community so extraordinary. Together, we are cultivating a future where students thrive, leadership is redefined, and bold ideas become reality. Our community was further enriched by an exceptional lineup of guest speakers, including our visionary namesake Mr. Mario Gabelli, founder of GAMCO Investments, and esteemed alumnus Mr. Dick Sullivan, CEO of PGA TOUR Superstores. We are also deeply grateful for the continued leadership of our Gabelli Advisory Council, chaired by Mr. Brian MacLean, former COO of Travelers Insurance, whose guidance is instrumental to our mission.
Dear Gabelli School of Business Community, As we approach the final weeks of the semester, a vibrant sense of anticipation fills our campus. With commencement on the horizon, we take this opportunity to reflect on an academic year filled with achievement, innovation, and growth—and to look forward with great optimism and pride. This year has been defined by bold momentum and meaningful progress. We launched two dynamic programs—an MBA with a focus on analytics and an interdisciplinary Sports Management degree—both crafted to equip our students for success in a rapidly evolving global economy. Across a range of national competitions—from entrepreneurship challenges to NSAC, CFA, and other inter-university showcases— our students continued to demonstrate the creativity, resilience, and leadership that define the Gabelli School.
