ASB Alumni Networking Roundtable: Tuesday, April 16, 2013
The Anisfield School of Business Alumni Advisory Board hosted its sixth annual Alumni Networking Roundtable on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 from 6:15 – 9:30 PM in the Trustees Pavilion. The objective was to give business students an opportunity to network with ASB and other Ramapo alumni and learn about their professional experiences and career paths. This is ASB’s most successful student event, as alumni host tables related to their areas of business, and business students join them in conversation, rotating among tables. In this roundtable format, students express their table preferences upon registration and are then assigned to different tables for each of three rounds, which provided multiple opportunities for students to make connections and begin to build their professional networks.
Every year, students overwhelmingly appreciate this opportunity to network with alumni of Ramapo College in a comfortable yet professional environment. They gain great perspective on the business world directly from professionals and are consistently impressed by the accomplishments of the participating alumni.
Ramapo College Unveils New MBA Program in Fall 2012
Ramapo College introduced a new MBA program for working professionals in fall 2012. The AACSB accredited 20-month accelerated program is designed to be practical and relevant and includes extensive opportunities to apply essential management skills and knowledge in real world settings, including an international immersion consulting experience.
Dr. Lewis Chakrin, Dean of the Anisfield School of Business, cited four key attributes of the program: leadership across business disciplines; The 20-Month Push: a schedule that is intense yet manageable; real-world hands-on experience that prepares students to lead; and the enduring value of the Ramapo MBA.
The Ramapo MBA program develops business leaders who are effective and socially responsible. “We have focused more than 20 percent of our coursework on developing leadership skills because research suggests that this enterprise-wide vision is a skill future business leaders often do not find in MBA curricula,” said Chakrin.
The Ramapo MBA program is fast and flexible for working professionals as the College recognizes that working while completing one’s degree is not optional, but essential. A student can continue to work and earn an MBA within 20 months if they commit to the accelerated schedule.
The MBA program is also centered on real-world case studies, and the College has developed partnerships with companies who will present challenges facing their business to the MBA cohort for analysis and recommendations. Additionally, the program includes an immersion experience in China developed by one of Ramapo’s professors to take students behind the scenes of China’s complex and booming economy.
The Ramapo MBA is AACSB-accredited, meaning that it delivers an education tested against external standards. Professors who are experienced in business as well as the classroom impart practical wisdom and useful classroom encounters. Like colleagues in the workplace, students will progress through the MBA program together, in a cohort, forming teams and learning to collaborate.

Stiglitz on Wednesday, February 29 at 4:45 p.m. in the Berrie Center for Performing and Visual Arts.
Stiglitz spoke with economics students at the Anisfield School of Business at 3:30 p.m. the same day.
Stiglitz’s talk focused on the survival of the European Union and the Euro as a means of currency. The lecture also addressed debt issues that have affected countries such as Greece, Portugal and Spain. Audience members will had the opportunity to participate in a question and answer session.
“We are honored to have a speaker of Dr. Stiglitz’s caliber share his insight on world economic affairs,” said Dr. Peter P. Mercer, the College president. “Experiential learning opportunities such as this continue to draw some of the best business students in the region to our Anisfield School of Business which is the proud home of the Eastern Economic Association.”
Stiglitz is a University Professor at Columbia University.

Stiglitz is also the winner of the 2001 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics and received the John Bates Clark Medal as an American economist under the age of 40 who has contributed significantly to the field.

Ramapo College of New Jersey Earns AACSB International Business Accreditation
Ramapo College of New Jersey achieved initial accreditation of its business degree program by AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business in January, 2011. Founded in 1916, AACSB International is the largest global accrediting body for business schools that offer undergraduate, master’s and doctoral degrees in business and accounting.
Ramapo College joins an elite group of institutions that have achieved business accreditation from AACSB International. Only 607 schools of business, or less than 5% worldwide, have earned this distinguished hallmark of excellence in management education.
“The AACSB accreditation of Ramapo College’s Anisfield School of Business is an important milestone in the College’s history of which we can all be proud,” said President Peter P. Mercer. “This accreditation is a key component in furthering Ramapo’s Strategic Plan and commitment to provide nationally recognized programs of the highest quality. This prestigious accreditation confirms the ASB’s achievement of a wide range of high quality standards relating to curriculum, faculty resources, admissions, degree requirements, facilities and financial resources.”
To achieve accreditation, an institution’s business program must undergo a meticulous internal review and evaluation process. During this period, the school must develop and implement a mission-driven plan to satisfy 17 quality standards relating to faculty qualification, strategic management of resources, interactions of faculty and students, as well as a commitment to continuous improvement and achievement of learning goals in degree programs.
During the accreditation process, Ramapo College’s Anisfield School of Business was visited and evaluated by business school deans with detailed knowledge of management education, applying accreditation standards that are widely-accepted in the educational community.
“Attaining accreditation by AACSB was only possible with the focused efforts of an entire team,” noted Dean Lewis M. Chakrin. “We are fortunate to have an outstanding faculty dedicated to student learning, with a commitment to professional development and scholarly research to inform their teaching, along with a student body that is motivated and engaged in expanding their knowledge and skills both inside and outside the classroom.”
The Anisfield School of Business is the home of the Eastern Economic Association, one of the nation’s foremost organizations dedicated to the promotion of scholarly and educational exchange, research and discussion of economic affairs. Recently, the School opened its new Global Financial Markets Trading Lab, which offers student real-time access to the world’s financial data and state-of-the-art trading systems, introduced a new certificate program in Project Management and opened a career services office.
“We warmly congratulate Ramapo College and welcome it into the AACSB family of internationally accredited business schools,” said John J. Fernandes, president and chief executive officer of AACSB International. “AACSB accreditation represents the highest achievement for an educational institution and its college of business. The dean, faculty, directors and administrative staff of Ramapo College are to be commended for their dedication and commitment to continuous improvement, and for their role in earning initial accreditation.”

ASB Hosts Panel on Current Global Economic Crisis
As the global economic crisis continued to unfold, The Anisfield School of Business assembled a group of experts from the ASB faculty, Wall Street and the Federal Reserve Banking System to shed light on its causes, impacts and potential cures. The discussion was held October 29, 2008, which coincided with the 79th anniversary of “Black Tuesday.” The panelists explained to a standing-room-only audience what is happening in the economy and described the circumstances that led to this extraordinary set of events. They also offered suggestions of leading indicators that will mark the eventual turnaround in the economy:
- a recovering stock market, indicating that trust and confidence in the credit markets are restored;
- the stabilization of housing prices once the floor is hit – buyers need to know the floor is near;
- credit card companies will realize their losses.
Lewis Chakrin, Ph.D., dean of the Anisfield School of Business, asserted in his invitation to the event, “While we cannot promise comfort, we can offer enlightenment.” The panel did just that.

Richard and Millicent Anisfield Announce Another $3 Million Gift to the School That Bears Their Name
At a dedication ceremony Monday, April 28, 2008 for the Anisfield School of Business on the campus of Ramapo College of New Jersey, Richard and Millicent Anisfield of Saddle River announced a $3 million gift to the school that bears their name. In 2006, the Anisfields made a $2.5 gift to facilitate construction of the new academic building. At the time, it was the largest single gift in the history of Ramapo College. This second significant gift brings the total of the Anisfields’ donation to the college to more than $6 million.
“Millicent and I are proud of Ramapo College and its fine faculty, students, staff and administrators who are responsible for the institution’s high stature in the academic world,” said Richard Anisfield. “We are delighted to contribute to the continuing growth of Ramapo and its college community.”
The gift will be used to complete the fifth floor of the building and to support future programs of the business school. Features will include a state-of-the-art Trading Floor Simulation Room, four classrooms, a seminar room, a board room, a director’s office and career services offices. The Trading Floor Simulation Room will be a highly technical specialty space with ample wall space for screens and scrolling tickers. It also will be an attractive space for student clubs that manage portfolios and for on-going contests that use virtual portfolios to compete.
Ramapo College Establishes the Sabrin Center for Free Enterprise
Dr. Peter P. Mercer, president of Ramapo College of New Jersey, announced the establishment of the Sabrin Center for Free Enterprise in the Anisfield School of Business. Initial funding for the Center will come from a $250,000 gift from Dr. Murray Sabrin, a professor of finance and executive director of the college’s Center for Business and Public Policy, and his wife, Florence.
“We believe that our gift will have a major impact on the education of Anisfield School of Business students,” said Dr. Sabrin. He and Mrs. Sabrin are committed to having their gift and the income it generates used for scholarships, faculty research and programmatic needs. The Center also will provide an opportunity for the Anisfield School of Business to conduct community outreach.
The first installment of the gift, in December, will be used to create an endowment for the exclusive use of the Sabrin Center for Free Enterprise. An executive director will be appointed to begin organizing the Center and to seek support for future activities from corporations, foundations and individuals. It is expected the Sabrin Center for Free Enterprise will begin operation in the 2008 – 2009 academic year. The Ramapo College Foundation will administer the Sabrin’s gift.
“It is always special in the life of a college when faculty members and their families contribute financially in a way that complements their intellectual contributions,” said Dr. Mercer.
Cathleen Davey, vice president and executive director of the Ramapo College Foundation said, “The Sabrins often speak about giving back and helping others. With this gift, they bring to fruition their dream and set a wonderful example for our faculty to emulate.”
Added Dr. Sabrin, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Florence and me to provide a lasting legacy to Ramapo College, which gave me the opportunity to achieve my career goal.” The couple resides in Ft. Lee, New Jersey.

Longtime supporters Richard and Millicent Anisfield of Saddle River will donate $2.5 million toward Ramapo’s business school. To express its appreciation for these contributions, the Ramapo College Board of Trustees will name the college’s business school The Anisfield School of Business.
The Anisfield gift will provide funding to support the construction of a new academic building, an endowed deanship, endowed student scholarships and faculty fellowship awards. “The Anisfields are committed to our business school’s mission to provide undergraduate students with exceptional public education through the strategic integration of the business disciplines and the liberal arts, “said Ramapo President Peter P. Mercer.
The Anisfield School of Business, the college’s largest school with 23 percent of Ramapo students, will be housed on the lower level and the first three floors of the new facility, comprising 14 “smart” classrooms, two of which will be high-tech lecture halls, study lounges, an e-mail lounge, 40 faculty offices as well as 20 two-person adjunct faculty offices, break-out rooms for seminars and a dean’s suite.
