Frank J. Guarini School of Business AACSB Accreditation
In May 2022, the Frank J. Guarini School of Business received accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), thus placing it among the world’s leading business schools. John Cabot is one of fewer than 6% of business schools worldwide, and the first American overseas university in Europe to have earned this prestigious accreditation. The School of Business was created thanks to a generous donation by the Hon. Frank J. Guarini, Chairman Emeritus of the JCU Board of Trustees.
New Dean of Academic Affairs
In July 2022, Professor Stefano Arnone was appointed as new Dean of Academic Affairs of John Cabot University. Dean Arnone holds a Dottorato di Ricerca in Physics from the University of Rome “La Sapienza.” He was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the SHEP Theory Group, the University of Southampton, UK from 2000 to 2003, and a research fellow at “La Sapienza” from 2003 to 2007.

His research interests include the Exact Renormalization Group and gauge theories with (extended) supersymmetry.
