Mayor Fulop graduated from Binghamton University in 1999 and completed both his master’s in business administration at the New York University Stern School of Business and his master’s in public administration at Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs in 2006. He received an honorary degree from Saint Peter’s in 2014.

Upon graduating from college, Mayor Fulop joined Goldman Sachs. After working in financial services for several years, he joined the United States Marine Corps and completed his service in 2006.

Mayor Fulop is a first-generation American, a lifelong New Jerseyan and a triathlete. His presentation will discuss leadership.
