BY: Senator MAYER

        COMMEMORATING  the  dedication of the new facility
        at the LaPenta School of Business at Iona College on
        December 11, 2019

  WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to  recognize  and
commend  those  exemplary  institutions  of  higher education within the
State of New York for  their  enduring  commitment  to  the  pursuit  of
academic excellence; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commemorate  the dedication of the new facility at the LaPenta School of
Business at Iona College, to be celebrated at a ceremony  on  Wednesday,
December 11, 2019; and

  WHEREAS, In the Fall of 2016, Iona College announced plans for a new
facility  for  the  LaPenta School of Business; the modern facility will
incorporate part of the existing Hagan Hall while more than doubling the
space for classrooms, lectures and faculty offices; and

  WHEREAS, The facility will showcase the front of Hagan  Hall,  along
with  its  iconic  cupola,  and will set it in an open glass atrium with
views to the rest of campus; the  atrium,  or  Grand  Hall,  will  be  a
gathering  space  and  a  venue  for larger events than can currently be
accommodated elsewhere on campus; and

  WHEREAS, Along with state-of-the-art  smart  classrooms,  case-study
and  breakout  rooms,  a  business career center, quiet study space, and
integrated faculty and administrative offices, the  new  structure  will
also  feature  an  expanded and relocated LaPenta-Lynch Trading Floor, a
LaPenta School of Business centerpiece since it  opened  in  October  of
2011; and

  WHEREAS, The LaPenta School of Business offers students high-quality
academic  programs  in  all  aspects of business; students develop broad
knowledge and  capabilities  in  general  business  concepts,  and  also
develop a deep understanding of the area they choose as their major; and

  WHEREAS,  Additionally,  students have many opportunities to improve
their career readiness and leverage out-of-class experiences to  prepare
themselves thoroughly for the next stage of their lives; and

  WHEREAS, Since its inception, the LaPenta School of Business at Iona
College  has  been defined by unparalleled standards of learning and has
produced countless leaders throughout the world; and

  WHEREAS, With great admiration, this Legislative Body  is  proud  to
pay  tribute to this eminent university which stands at the threshold of
the  future  with  its  legacy  of  outstanding  achievements  and   its
impressive body of distinguished alumni; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate the dedication of the new facility at the LaPenta School  of
Business at Iona College on December 11, 2019; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to William  B.  Lamb,  Ph.D.,  Dean  of  LaPenta  School  of
Business.
