The School of Business judges the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) Competition

Jeanine Pardy- Levine of the Manhattanville School of Education and Jean Mann of the Manhattanville School of Business had the honor of judging the Network for Teaching Entreprenurship (NFTE) Competition on May 27th at Westchester Community College. NFTE provides prgrams that inspire young people to learn the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and develop a business plan.

The Schools of Education and Business just launched a new M.Ed program in Education Entrepreneurship. The program is aimed at individuals with an entrepreneurial and creative bent who do not intend to be classroom teachers in the traditional mold, yet have a desire to improve education-focused institutions or be self-employed.

The program is designed for those interested in developing businesses related to education (tutoring, consulting, early childhood centers/day cares, preschools, learning centers, publishing) and in working in businesses, foundations, and non-profit organizations related to education. Those interested might be involved or want to be involved in program and curriculum design or delivery, training, program evaluation, fund raising, or policy analysis.

For more information on the M.Ed program see the program page

The End Of A Manhattanville Legend

People will look at those dates will say “she had a good run,” or “she had a good life.” And while that is true, the fact is those who really knew her know there is much more to her story! Obituaries tell us about a person’s life; where they are from, went to school, worked, their family etc. They are benign by nature… Let me tell you my thoughts about the PERSON, and bear in mind, I met her when she hired me 13 years ago…when she was merely 87! Ruth is one of my favorite names. Aside from being the eighth book in the Bible, and only one of two named after women in the Old & New Testaments, it was my Grandmother’s (mother’s side) name.
