Graduates Its Inaugural Class 2025


“I’m incredibly proud of what we accomplished at the Roc Nation School of Music Sports & Entertainment In 2025, we graduated the inaugural class,” said outgoing Dean Tressa Cunningham, in a LinkedIn post. “(We) renewed our position on Billboard’s Top Music Business Schools list, launched impactful high school programs, and hosted programming that both enriched and expanded opportunity for so many students.” (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7411239288366972928/)

More on Dean Cunningham


In 2019 she was recognized by Forbes magazine for her leadership as a 20 Under 30 star. To the disappointment of Roc Nation and the LIU community. She will be starting a new role as a full-time mother. 

This past year she and her husband had twin boys. Here is wishing her good luck and hoping we will see her on campus again soon.

Tale Of Two Universities And How They Handled A Closed College

  Long Island University & the closing of Southampton College vs. Fordham & the Closing of Marymount College in Tarrytown. L.I.U. In the course of the Southampton campus tenure under Long Island University, it produced 34 Fulbright scholars, most of which hailed from the marine science program. After many years of fiscal mismanagement, the University announced a multimillion-dollar capital campaign, launched a new interdisciplinary CORE curriculum and the construction of a new library to revamp the campus. After one year of a 10-year plan however, Long Island University officials ceased all plans, and Long Island University decided to effectively close the campus.

  THE FORDHAM COLLEGE OF PHARMACY CLOSING A number of factors impacted the closing of Fordham University's College of Pharmacy in 1972. Among them the national academic upgrading of pharmacist academic requirements; the changing role of independent pharmacies during the growth of chain retail stores; Fordham's lack of training pharmacy graduates for work in hospital settings as well as the industrial side of this field; The persistent rumor of then various school administrators' lack of support for retaining an expensive college at a Catholic Institution where most of the students were Jewish; Finally, the school's economic downturn in the 1970s bringing this to a head. In 1910 Jacob Diner, M.D., both a pharmacist and physician, received permission to create the Fordham College of Pharmacy. He became the first Jewish dean in the history of the University. Opening in 1912, it moved into the building known today as Thebaud Hall in 1914.   ( Fordham Centurion ©1941) Ford...

  Michele Beach Harrington                                                                                             Executive Director- Alumni and Employer Engagement Long Island University  I was a little nervous meeting her; In large part because she drove up to meet me. We picked a diner in Brewster, NY so she could return home easily, via I-684, to the Long Island campus. For those of us, of a certain age, Michele was quick to remember, “That Brewster is the town where ‘That Girl’ was from.” (Marlo Thomas’ character in the ...
