Dean's Welcome Message

Dear Touro Graduate School of Business Students and Alumni,

Dean Mary L. Lo Re

For those of whom I've yet to meet, kindly allow me to introduce myself to you virtually as the Dean of the Graduate School of Business (GSB). I'm honored to be part of this incredible institution with its highly dynamic senior leadership; caring and vibrant staff members; accomplished and engaging faculty; and ambitious, motivated and curious students.

Below, are some highlights that I'd like to share with you:

I am pleased to report that we are now offering two new Advanced Certificate programs: Real Estate Entrepreneurship and Not-for-Profit Management whose courses can also be applied toward the MBA degree. We are also excited to be piloting an Artificial Intelligence platform software that will allow students to improve their presentation skills!

Furthermore, I've had the pleasure to forge many collaborative programs with our intra-Touro schools.

  • Meritorious business students from NYSCAS can now take up to 4 graduate classes free of charge and save one semester of study when continuing their education at GSB.
  • Pharmacy students can now take MBA classes while pursuing their PharmD degree.
  • A new dual-degree BS-MS in Accounting will be launched this year. Students enrolled in this program will earn 2 degrees, be CPA ready, pay less tuition and graduate early!
  • Business Data Analytics concentration has been incorporated into GST's MS in Data Analytics.  
  • Ask your company’s HR Department if they have partnered with GSB to receive a discount on tuition!

In addition to our new and collaborative degree programs, we are offering 2 intra-Touro, co-curricular programs and a webinar series. Feel free to inquire and participate in these "free" self-development programs:

  • Moonshot Scholars program - runs in the fall semester - FREE to all Touro students.
  • Business Plan Competition - runs in the spring semester - FREE to all Touro students (3 past winners thus far!)
  • Realtor News Webinars - offered in fall, spring & summer semesters. Examples of topics: "Real Estate and Crypto-Currency: What do they have in common?", "Real Estate and Cannabis", and many more “hot” topics. Participants attending this webinar series will earn FREE continuing education credits.
  • SHRM-CP and SHRM-SCP continuing educational/professional credits. Just one class recertifies you for the next 3 years!

We have a vibrant Alumni Association. Through their coaxing, I am happy to report that GSB has established and has already inducted proud students in the Sigma Beta Delta International Honor Society in Business, Management and Administration. Visit the GSB Alumni LinkedIn group page. 

Lastly, through many of our caring and generous benefactors, we have raised money and have established many scholarship opportunities for our students. The names of these benefactors now reside on our Donor Recognition Tree Plaque, which hangs in the conference room, next to my office in room 1008. We are deeply grateful to them!

We continue to build the GSB brand and are always looking to expand our social media presence. Please like us and follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn for the latest news & events! I encourage you to reach to us with any questions, ideas, or suggestions about any of our programming or with any news you would like to share with us.

Looking forward to another productive year ahead, and remember our motto: Don't Just Succeed, Lead!

Very best,

Dean Mary L. Lo Re
