Here’s What Our Graduates Have to Say…

To current students majoring in Business Administration, I encourage you to fully embrace the community you have at The College of Westchester. Take advantage of the opportunities for hands-on experience, whether through internships, clubs, or part-time positions. Remain open to diverse career paths. My role at BronxWorks may not fit the conventional business mold, but it exemplifies how versatile a Business Administration degree can be.

Look for ways to merge your passion with your career aspirations; this intersection often leads to the most fulfilling professional journeys. Lastly, prioritize continuous learning. The business landscape is constantly evolving, and staying updated with industry trends and acquiring new skills will keep you competitive. Whether through formal education or self-directed learning, committing to lifelong growth—much like the values instilled at CW—can be one of your greatest assets.

Neranyi Roman, Class of 2024

We all need to start somewhere. If an opportunity arises, you should embrace it even if you feel it will be challenging. This will showcase your commitment to continuous learning and professional development. Also, it’s important to have a positive attitude. Employers will take the time to train you. Remember, you may have the skillset, but if you don’t have the right attitude, you won’t go far. Be patient, it takes time to learn. In addition, it’s important to build a strong professional network, which will open new opportunities and collaborations in your field.

If you haven’t already, create your LinkedIn profile and begin growing your professional network. Follow & connect with as many people and businesses as possible in the field you are interested in. You never know when an opportunity will pop up. Lastly, as I said during my commencement speech in 2019, the journey will not be easy, but use the confidence that CW has given you, to guide you through your career!
