Pace to Encourage Entrepreneurship
Pace University has launched an Entrepreneurship Lab (E-Lab),
which is expected to both nurture the entrepreneurial spirit on
campus and serve as a beacon for innovation in the Lower Manhattan
community. In addition to the site in Manhattan, Pace opened an
Entrepreneurship Lab at the Goldstein Academic Building on its
Pleasantville, N.Y., campus. Both E-Labs will provide the tools and
mentoring for the development of business plans and the seed capital
for new ventures. The E-Labs will also host events featuring guest
speakers, workshops and competitions, many of which will be open to
the public.
“Entrepreneurship, in its broadest sense, is a personal approach for
developing ideas into plans and plans into reality. It is interdisciplinary
‘doing.’ Entrepreneurial leadership is as important in large companies
as it is in startups; it’s a mindset toward relentless problem solving that
leads to successful execution,” said Neil S. Braun, dean of the Lubin
School of Business and former president of the NBC Television Network
and CEO and chairman of Viacom Entertainment. “It is therefore at the
heart of business education; it is the ultimate capstone for applying the
knowledge and skills of the discrete disciplines to a product or service
for a specific market opportunity.
“Professor Bruce Bachenheimer is ideally suited to lead the E-Labs and
grow the program,” continued Braun. “Bruce’s relationships throughout
the New York City venture community and beyond will be an important
building block as we seek to further enhance our standing and access to
professionals in the field.”
Bachenheimer is a member of the board of directors and past
chairman of the MIT Enterprise Forum of New York City and has served on
the organization’s Global Board. Bachenheimer also serves on the board
of directors and advisors of LeadAmerica and has served as a consultant
to the NYC Department of Small Business Services and the New York City
Economic Development Corp. He founded Annapolis Maritime Corp. and
co-founded StockCentral Australia. “The Entrepreneurship Lab aims to
foster an entrepreneurial mindset—a way of thinking and acting that
focuses on developing new ways to solve problems and create value,” said
Bachenheimer, who drafted the initial proposal of the E-Lab. “These skills
are important not only for those seeking to establish a new venture, but are
increasingly critical in a wide variety of professional careers given today’s
hyper-competitive marketplace, where rapid technological innovation and
globalization has led to corporate downsizing and a dramatic change in
the very nature of work.”
New M.S. in Autism and Applied
Behavior Analysis
Beginning in the fall semester of
2012, Saint Joseph College will be the first
university in the state of Connecticut to
offer a Master of Science degree program
in autism and applied behavior analysis
(ABA). As part of the Institute for Autism
and Behavioral Studies, the co-educa-
tional graduate program prepares
professionals skilled in the science and
practice of ABA to serve individuals with
autism spectrum disorders (ASD) across
the lifespan in a variety of clinical and
educational settings.
Courses are offered as a compre-
hensive Master of Science program in
autism and applied behavior analysis at
Saint Joseph College’s centrally-located
West Hartford campus and are approved
by the Behavior Analysis Certification
Board; this program leads to certification
in Behavior Analysis. Additionally, an
optional Supervised Experience program
with a competency-based mastery system
to ensure skill development is available.
Students may enroll in the program
in the fall or spring semesters and can
choose a full-time (two-year) or part-
time (three-year) program of study. The
program requires 39 credits of instruc-
tion with an additional six credits of
thesis research.
Associate professor of Behavioral
Sciences and Psychology Deirdre
Fitzgerald, Ph.D., BCBA-D, who serves
as director of this new graduate degree
program, said, “As the population of
individuals with autism grows, so does
the demand for professionals, particu-
larly those trained in ABA. Increasingly
diverse employment opportunities are
available for graduates of our program
including: educational assessment, plan-
ning and program evaluation; staff and
parent training; prevention and commu-
nity intervention; therapy/counseling;
developmental disabilities and autism;
organizational behavior management
and human service administration;
sport and health psychology; and much
more.”
First Graduate Program in
Health Care Simulation
New York Institute of Technology’s New York College of
Osteopathic Medicine (NYCOM) has launched the nation’s
first graduate program focused on human and robotic
patient simulations. The program will prepare profes-
sionals to educate, develop and manage patient simula-
tion and patient safety programs at hospitals and medical,
health professions and nursing schools.
“Patient simulations are increasingly used in health
care education to teach and assess clinical and profes-
sional skills,” said Anthony Errichetti, chief of Virtual
Medicine and director for NYCOM’s Institute for Clinical
Competence, known as the ICC. Established in 2005, the
ICC’s patient safety programs train medical and nursing
students using state-of-the-art computerized manikins as
well as actors who portray patients with medical problems.
The training is designed to help prevent serious medical
errors in diagnosing, treating, or monitoring patients
correctly. “In hospitals and ambulatory settings, simula-
tions help clinicians practice and retain their skills and
ensure patient safety,” Errichetti said. “Our goal is to
educate physicians and health care teams in the best prac-
tices of their professions. We want to help them save lives
and protect their patients.” Scheduled to begin in the fall
semester, the Master of Science in Health Care Simulation
will include online courses, hands-on workshops and
faculty advising by national experts.
