Rikki Abzug

“I came to Ramapo in 2006 after having served as the Chair of the Nonprofit Management Program at the New School in New York. By 2008, I had been selected ‘Outstanding Teacher of the Year’ by Ramapo’s Business Honor Society (Delta Mu Delta, at that time). About that same time, I became Convener of the Management Concentration. I have chaired the search committees that brought the seven newest members of the management faculty to Ramapo and have helped conceptualize the leadership track of our MBA.

I am delighted to have taught and mentored hundreds of students, who have successfully pursued graduate degrees and/or are leading small and medium sized businesses and nonprofits, many of whom I follow on social media. I have worked with students–often by reviewing personal statements–on successful applications to Master’s programs in higher education administration, student affairs, business administration and even medical doctorates.”
