Dr. Janet A. Lenaghan became the first woman dean of the Frank G. Zarb School of Business at Hofstra University in January of 2019. During her tenure, the Zarb School developed several new degree programs which respond to emerging business and workforce trends. At the graduate level, she led the development of an interdisciplinary, theme-focused, experiential-based EMBA as well as new programs in cybersecurity leveraging the state-of-the-art technology in the Cybersecurity Innovation and Research Center. At the undergraduate level, she led the revision of the BBA to better align with market demand, increasing student outcomes. In addition, Dr. Lenaghan has focused on forging industry partnerships providing students with robust opportunities for experiential and interdisciplinary learning. With significant investment in sophisticated technology, the Zarb School recently opened a new Behavioral Research in Business laboratory where students and faculty can manipulate environmental conditions and use tools including eye tracking, facial analysis, and voice analysis software to study human behavior. Under a grant secured by New York State, the school recently renovated its classrooms, enhanced its academic trading room - which is equipped with 34 Bloomberg terminals, and installed the latest educational technology aimed at advancing the delivery of online and remote classes.

Under her leadership, the Zarb School has earned top rankings for its undergraduate programs and its portfolio of graduate programs, including its online MBA. Dr. Lenaghan is committed to creating a culture of inclusion which values diversity and equity. Recognizing the importance of the Zarb School’s impact on local society, Dr. Lenaghan is leading the efforts to broaden community engagement through innovative programs such as financial literacy for youngsters, developing an entrepreneurial mindset for middle school students, and mindful leadership designed to build resiliency.

Telecommuting, strike option for many, has limits

Proximity to president trump has been a crushing experience for many who arrived with stellar careers and independent reputations yet ended up losing so much.

For many, life in trump’s orbit ends in a crash landing

Half of the top aides who came to the White House with President Trump in 2017 are gone, including Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, chief economic advisor and Director of the Director of the National Economic Council Gary Cohn, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, Communications Director Hope Hicks, and Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price. Still others, such as EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Chief of Staff John Kelly and White House physician Admiral Ronny Jackson, who withdrew his nomination to become Veterans Affairs Secretary, have seen their reputations battered by the harsh attention that comes with being associated with the Trump Administration. The White House revolving door has raises troubling questions about the administration's ability to attract and keep the best talent, as well as whether it is properly vetting candidates before tapping them for top jobs.

Our political science and management experts can discuss the impact the continuing and escalating tumult inside the West Wing will have on the White House's ability to effectively govern.

- Political Science Professor Meena Bose, director of Hofstra's Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency, and Political Science Professor Richard Himelfarb can discuss the impact the escalating tumult and turnover inside the West Wing will have on the White House's ability to effectively govern.

- Comila Shahani-Denning, an expert in workplace psychology, and Janet Lenaghan, whose expertise is in human resource management, can discuss how this kind of environment affects the ability of an organization to function, and its ability to attract high-quality personnel.
