FDUPitch 2026

Easan Ali, a business administration major (Flor), won first place in this year’s FDUPitch competition held on March 4 at the Florham Campus. His winning idea: an on-demand umbrella rental solution. Ali received a plaque and a check for $1,000.

“My project was designed to help students, staff and visitors who get caught in unexpected rain or strong sun without an umbrella. Instead of purchasing a new umbrella, users can simply scan a QR code, pay the small rental fee, take the umbrella and return it to a station when finished. No app is required, making the process fast and convenient,” Ali explained. “The stations would be placed in high-traffic areas across campus, such as building entrances, parking lots, sports fields and near dormitories. This makes umbrellas easily accessible whenever someone needs one.”

According to Eun-Jeong “EJ” Ko, entrepreneurship (Flor) and lead organizer of FDUPitch, the judges chose Ali’s Umbrella Rental Services for its “strong market research and clear value proposition. This idea is genuinely market-ready.” This year’s judges were Matthew Wells, executive director, New Jersey Small Business Development Center at FDU (Metro); Thomas Gold, founder, Assessment Solutions, LLC, and adjunct faculty applied statistics, social science and humanities, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Development, New York University; and Jessica Maarek, founder, Red Root Marketing.

Second- and third-place runners-up were David Tavartkiladze and Ourania Rahman, respectively, both computer science majors from the Metropolitan Campus. Tavartkiladze introduced TeamBuilder, a gamified virtual platform designed to drive engagement among remote and hybrid teams; while Rahman presented Athena, an AI-powered identity risk monitoring platform built specifically for small financial advisory firms.

Ali will represent FDU at this year’s UPitchNJ, which will be held on Friday, May 1, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at Business Hall 209, Rowan University, Glassboro, N.J.

Sports Management Goes to Barclays, Celebrates Korean Night 

Sports management students enjoyed a variety of experiential-learning opportunities — from trips to sports facilities and lectures by guest speakers to a cultural experience with a mix of basketball.

On March 13, eight students visited the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., with Jong-Chae “JC” Kim, sports management (Metro) and chair, International School of Hospitality, Sports, and Tourism Management. According to Kim, the visit gave students the opportunity to learn about the overall operations related to facility management as well as to gain insight to possible career opportunities in the field. The group also met FDU alumnus Bryan Wasyluk, MAS’13 (Metro), senior manager of arena operations at the Barclays Center, who discussed the key aspects of operating a facility, including the marketing, legal and financial considerations. “Our students also learned about the security and hospitality aspects of facility management,” Kim added.

Students at the Florham Campus had the chance to sit in on lectures by Brian Mulligan, vice president, event and game operations, for the New York Jets; and Alyssa Lang, managing director of corporate giving for the New York Giants. The lectures were part of the classes taught by Robyn Lubisco, sports management (Flor).

In February, Kim invited prospective hospitality and sports management students to an information session about the programs offered by the school. Attendees also joined a celebration of Korean Night during halftime of the men’s basketball game at the Bogota Savings Bank Center.

Among those who visited the campus as part of Korean Night were students from Triumph Tae Kwon Do in Tenafly, N.J., who displayed their martial arts skills at halftime, and Kyoung Jin Oh (Master Oh), owner and chief master; several members from the Korean Community Services, a nonprofit organization who manned a desk and disseminated health-related information.

Journey of Giving

For the second year in a row, a group from Silberman College traveled to Puerto Rico — this time to Dorado Bay — to give back to a community in need. Twenty-one undergraduate and graduate students from the Metropolitan and Florham campuses were joined by Maureen Kieff, quantitative analysis, and Paige Soltano, director of placement and outreach, Silberman College (both Metro).

Among the highlights of this year’s trip were presenting to the Boys and Girls Club of Puerto Rico, refurbishing a soccer stadium for a community and packing up meals and doing a beach cleanup — all in coordination with Dorado Cares, a nonprofit organization committed to helping and advancing the people and communities of Puerto Rico. The group also went to the FDIC in San Juan, where Cristina Fernandez, a car dealership owner, spoke to them about entrepreneurship.

The idea to incorporate service into the students’ study-abroad experience came from Fiorella Merriman-Mendez, BS’25 (Flor), an MBA student and graduate assistant at the Florham Campus. “When I began interning with Silberman the summer after my sophomore year, I had just returned from studying abroad,” she said. “The experience had been so transformative, and I wanted to explore how I could combine that with my love of helping others into an initiative within the college.” Her supervisor thought it was a great addition to the Silberman experience and approved Merriman-Mendez’s proposal. “Absolutely nothing has been as rewarding as being able to provide this experience to many students, who consider it a highlight of their time in college,” she added. “This trip brings together many like-minded people, and it’ll be interesting to see the impact these newfound connections will continue to make in the world.”

Soltano believes it’s an invaluable learning opportunity for students. “This opportunity exposes them to a place that maybe they haven’t visited before or if they have, allows them to do community service in an area that need extra support. It is truly an experiential learning opportunity,” she said.

The experience is as much an eye-opener for the students as it is for staff and faculty who go on the trip. Kieff enjoyed engaging with the students (beyond the classroom setting). “This was especially evident during our time painting for Dorado Cares. I truly valued building relationships with the students, and I am excited to see what the future holds for them,” she said.

Hospitality Students at CMAA

Six students from the FDU chapter of the Club Management Association of America (CMAA) were chosen to attend the CMAA World Conference in Anaheim, Calif., in February. Among them were Chelsea Akparanta, Courtney Castagna Jordan Coven, Jill Driscoll, Beem Surawech and Regina Tenor. They were joined by Donald Hoover, hospitality/tourism management, and Skyler Schwenk, administrative coordinator, public/global affairs and hospitality/sports/tourism management, Silberman College (both Metro).

At the conference, students networked with CMAA chapters from other states, met with mentor leaders from various clubs and attended professional development sessions.

GBE Travels to Paris, Washington, D.C.

As part of the Global Business Experience, two groups of students traveled during Spring Break: 10 freshmen traveled to Paris, France, while 11 sophomores boarded a train for Washington, D.C.

The Paris trip offered students the opportunity to broaden their academic experiences, explore international business issues and gain a better understanding of the global marketplace. The students were joined by Scott Behson, management and director, Center for the Interdisciplinary Study of Leadership (Metro); Vijay Sampath, accounting (Flor); and Patricia Wyer, manager of placement and outreach, Silberman College (Flor).

The highlights of the trip included a class on Luxury Marketing and Entrepreneurship; and tours of the Seine River, Versailles and Musée Marmottan-Monet. The group also had the chance to explore Paris on their own.

According to Wyer, students enjoyed this unique cultural excursion and “a couple are even looking into studying at the IÉSEG School of Management during the summer!” She encourages other Silberman College students to take advantage of this educational experience. “Businesses today value workers with a global outlook and an understanding of diverse cultures,” she said. “Going on these trips not only provides them with new friends and connections but gives them a competitive edge by transforming the way they think, solve problems and view the world.”

The Washington, D.C., group was led by Mary Sakin, assistant dean of corporate engagement and student success, Silberman College (Flor), and Diana Cvitan, University director of global education (Metro). Among the trip’s highlights were visits to the German Embassy and Delegation of the European Union; a tour of the Library of Congress; a lecture at Georgetown University; and a financial services briefing at the U.S. Congress.

Marion Turpan College of Psychology and Counseling

Naming Ceremony

The official naming ceremony of the Marion Turpan College of Psychology and Counseling was held on April 21 at the Metropolitan Campus. This was made possible through a transformational $6 million gift from an anonymous donor, the largest in the University’s history.

The college is named in honor of the late Marion Turpan BS’63, MA’65 (Metro), an alumna, educator and lifelong learner whose belief in education as a pathway to opportunity shaped a lasting family legacy of giving back to FDU. This landmark investment will support scholarships and fellowships, strengthen academic programs, enhance faculty resources and expand mental health education and services.

The ceremony also highlighted the future Marion Turpan Innovation and Humanics Hub, a state-of-the-art interdisciplinary space currently in development and expected to open in 2027.

Alumna Announces Book Publication

The Turpan College of Psychology and Counseling hosted a book signing and announcement for alumna Rachel Goldman, MA’07, PhD’10 (Metro) on April 7 — the same date as her book’s publication — at the Florham Campus. Her book, When Life Happens: The Mindset Shift You Need to Manage Stress, Build Confidence, and Break Free, was published by Jossey-Bass Publishers, San Francisco, Calif. The discussion was moderated by Eleanor McGlinchey, psychology and director of clinical training (Metro).

In her book, Goldman delivers an inspiring, approachable, and practical strategy guide to helping women reclaim their confidence, reshape how they see themselves — inside and out, and build resilience before stress knocks at their door. To read more about Goldman and her book go to “Alumna Rachel Goldman launches book at FDU.”

Center for First-Generation Scholars

The Center for First-Generation Scholars held an open house to welcome members of the University community to a renovated and refreshed space in the Greg Olsen Student Union (across from the Rutherford Room) on the Metropolitan Campus.

“We wanted to reintroduce FDU students to the Center for First-Generation Scholars and welcome them into a space created just for them,” said Lissette Garcia, center director. “It gave students and the rest of the University community a chance to see what the Center is all about. The event also highlighted that first-generation students have a home on campus where they are seen, supported and celebrated as they move through their college journey and beyond.”

The new space includes a common area, a quiet room workspace and a meditation room. “Being in such a central location makes it easier for students to stop by, connect and feel part of a larger community,” Garcia added. The center also helps students access academic, career, financial and personal support resources.

As its director, one of Garcia’s main goals is to identify and get to know the University’s first-generation community — from students to staff and faculty. “I’m working on developing a visible identifier for first-gen faculty and staff to proudly identify themselves, so students can easily recognize others who share a similar journey,” she said. “When students see that they’re not alone — that there are professors and staff members who were once in their shoes — it builds connection, confidence and a stronger sense of belonging. I want our first-gen scholars to feel seen, understood and supported throughout their time at FDU.”

Garcia is joined by a team of student ambassadors — all first-generation scholars — who serve as peer leaders within the center and provide guidance, share resources and offer support.

For more information about the Center for First-Generation scholars go to the “Home Sweet Home” feature story, their webpage and Instagram.
