The Lubin School of Business is launching a bold new initiative this fall aimed at reshaping how students understand success男女操逼视频软件攁nd themselves.
The Center for Leadership and Emotional Intelligence, housed within the Lubin School of Business was created in partnership with Harvard professor and Kennedy school professor Arthur Brooks, who also runs the . The Center introduces a free six-session, non-credit program designed to teach 男女操逼视频软件 students the science behind happiness and how it intersects with transformative leadership.
Ipshita Ray, PhD, a graduate program chair in Lubin, is the driving force behind the center. Her vision, born from a personal journey of resilience and renewal, has transformed into a mission to empower students with tools that go beyond theory.
From Adversity to Action
Ray男女操逼视频软件檚 vision for the center emerged during one of the most difficult chapters of her life: a battle with stage three cancer.

I wanted to do something with impact.男女操逼视频软件
That 男女操逼视频软件渟omething男女操逼视频软件 became a letter to Arthur Brooks, PhD, at Harvard Kennedy School. She read his book From Strength to Strength during her battle with cancer and was moved by his work at Harvard Kennedy School男女操逼视频软件檚 Leadership and Happiness Laboratory.
Ray reached out to Brooks and shared her story男女操逼视频软件攁nd a proposal. She wanted to bring his work and her story to Pace.
Purposeful Partnerships
Brooks, renowned for his bestselling book Build the Life You Want (co-written with Oprah Winfrey), has long advocated for embedding the science of happiness into leadership education. His lab at Harvard creates research and training for leaders across government, business, and academia.
Ray worked in conjunction with Brooks to develop a curriculum based on his work and her own experiences here at Pace. 男女操逼视频软件淭he lessons are designed around how happiness can be a daily practice男女操逼视频软件攈ow you can take it from a feeling to a state of being,男女操逼视频软件 Ray explains. 男女操逼视频软件淚t男女操逼视频软件檚 about converting negative energy into positive energy.男女操逼视频软件

The center is backed by Lubin Dean Emeritus and former NBCUniversal president , who has pledged funding support and will co-teach the course alongside Ray, tying Ray男女操逼视频软件檚 curriculum into real-world leadership skills. Upon completion, students will receive a certificate indicating they男女操逼视频软件檝e taken part in a curriculum designed by Harvard Kennedy School faculty in collaboration with Lubin and take part in a networking event featuring C-suite leaders and recent Pace alumni.
High Hopes for Spreading Happiness
Though the initiative launches within Lubin this fall, Ray already has high hopes for the future of the center. She hopes to expand the offering across Pace, to help bring the curriculum to other New York schools, and even establish a formal dual-degree program with Harvard.
男女操逼视频软件淚 want to make this a major movement,男女操逼视频软件 she says. 男女操逼视频软件淢y hope is to expand the program University-wide, which would allow Harvard to list us on their website, invite us to symposia, and co-lead research.男女操逼视频软件

Her goal for the present, however, is to help the students of Pace right now.
男女操逼视频软件淗ow can you lead if you don男女操逼视频软件檛 see the value in yourself or others?男女操逼视频软件 Ray asks. Her hope in bringing the science of happiness to Pace students is to empower them to not only learn and lead better, but to live better.
In an era where young people feel more alone and purposeless than ever, Ray believes programs like this are not just helpful, they男女操逼视频软件檙e necessary. 男女操逼视频软件淚 want students to understand they have complete agency over their choices,男女操逼视频软件 Ray says. 男女操逼视频软件淚 believe a winning life is a choice, that happiness is a choice.男女操逼视频软件
