Dean's Welcome Message

Dear Touro Graduate School of Business Students and Alumni,

Mary Lo Re Headshot

I'm delighted to welcome you to another exciting year at the Graduate School of Business (GSB). For those of whom I've yet to meet, I'm honored to be part of this incredible institution, serving as the Dean of GSB, with its highly dynamic senior leadership; strategic advisory board members; caring and vibrant staff members; industry-accomplished and engaging faculty; and ambitious, motivated and curious students.

Our Commitment to Your Future

The Business industry is evolving rapidly, and Industry leaders demand AI knowledge and durable skills. At GSB, we deliver both!

While enrolled in any of our degree programs, students can now earn electronic badges, such as: critical thinking, problem solving, ethical reasoning, effective written and oral communication, quantitative literacy, intercultural knowledge, teamwork and lifelong learning—empowering them with future-ready skills that last.

We are especially proud to be among the first graduate schools to embed real-world AI applications into every business course. In 2026, we'll launch: an MBA and an Advanced Certificate in Leadership Enabled Artificial Intelligence Decision Making (L.E.A.D.)

Alumni, Scholarships, Stay Connected

Our vibrant Alumni Association has helped establish the Sigma Beta Delta International Honor Society in Business, Management, and Administration at GSB. Connect with us on the GSB Alumni LinkedIn group page. 

Through many of our caring and generous benefactors, we have raised money and have established various 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! Explore the scholarship options on our Giving's site. Ask your company's HR Department if they have partnered with GSB to receive a discount on tuition!

Help us grow the brand! Share your accomplishments, your success stories, and like us/follow us on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn for the latest news & events! I encourage you to reach out to us with any questions, ideas, or suggestions about any of our programming or how we can be a part of your future success.
