We are thrilled to welcome the new adjunct Professors to the MS in Publishing program: Professor Jodie Cohen, Professor Sonny Regelman, and Professor Debra Polansky!
Jodie Cohen is a dynamic publishing industry executive who has held key marketing leadership positions at Scholastic, Penguin Random House, Highlights, and Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing. While studying abroad at The University of Bologna, she interned at Giannino Stoppani, a children’s bookstore and publisher. After graduating from Dickinson College, she launched a 25-year career in publishing after responding to a NYT help wanted for Parachute Publishing.
Known for innovative strategies, building strong relationships, and fostering beneficial partnerships, Jodie has consistently driven audience engagement and sales. She has mentored new publishing professionals and is very excited to bring her expertise to Pace University teaching Business Communications. She looks forward to helping students master professional communications with ease.
When she’s not immersed in a good book, you’ll find Jodie running, gardening, exploring art galleries, volunteering, and sending handwritten notes accompanied by freshly baked treats.
