2013-2014 Public Servant in Residence,<br />

women because they were women. It was<br />
because they were qualified.”<br />
The event, “All Pay is Not Created<br />
Equal: Why Women Are Still<br />
Struggling for an Even Playing Field in<br />
the Workplace,” was sponsored by the<br />

“Women need to be sought after<br />
instead of trying to be sought,” said<br />
String. The executive director of the<br />
Meridian Leadership Institute, who<br />
noted that being in a female-dominated<br />
field made the road a little easier, added,<br />
“Life isn’t about finding yourself; it’s how<br />
you create yourself.”<br />
The Leon Hess Business School<br />
is one of the nation’s most<br />
outstanding business schools,<br />
according to the education services<br />
company, The Princeton Review. The<br />
Company features the school in the new<br />
2014 edition of its book, The Best 295<br />
Business Schools.<br />
According to Robert Franek,<br />
Princeton Review Senior VP-Publisher,<br />
“We recommend Monmouth University’s<br />
Leon Hess Business School as one of the<br />
best institutions a student could attend<br />
to earn a business school degree.”<br />
“We are proud to be named one of<br />
the best business schools in the nation<br />
for the ninth consecutive year,” said Dr.<br />
Donald Moliver, dean of the Leon Hess<br />
Business School. “Our MBA program<br />
meets the needs of our students at every<br />
phase of their careers and provides a truly<br />
personalized learning experience that<br />
prepares them to succeed and compete<br />
in the global marketplace.”<br />
In the profile on the Leon Hess<br />
Business School, the Princeton Review<br />
editors note that the school “offers its<br />
students more personalized attention<br />
than they would get at a larger program.”<br />
In addition, the profile highlights the<br />
addition of a “full-time accelerated<br />
MBA program that can be completed in<br />
one year.” They also praise the school’s<br />
“affordability,” saying tuition clocks in<br />
lower than at regional public schools.<br />
