Hello everyone, and Happy New Year! It is CW's 100th anniversary as a college this year, and it is a great year to celebrate!
The 2015 economic outlook is bright, and that means that it is also bright for CW grads. If you are a new CW student, or a continuing student, keep your eye on the prize. While a CW education has almost always proven to be recession proof, in pursuing and securing employment in the field in which you have chosen and immersed yourself throughout your studies, the local, regional, national and global economy is catching up.
I attended a function last Thursday, January 8, featuring Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino's plans for Westchester in
2015, followed by an economic overview from Lisa Shalett, head of investment
and portfolio solutions, Morgan Stanley Wealth Management and roundtable
discussion on economic trends for the business community in the year ahead that
featured William Cuddy, CBRE, Guy
Leibler, Simone Development Companies, Christopher Meyers, Houlihan Lawrence,
Inc., Ayall Schanzer, Friedland Realty Advisors and Glenn Walsh, Newmark Grubb
Knight Frank.
Overall, the tone was positive. Jobs are up, real estate is appreciating in both private and commercial sectors, and the investment (stock and bond) market is healing and growing locally and globally. This is all good news. The best news, to me, is that consumers will begin to drive the market and lead economic growth.
Translation, more jobs, better pay, more disposable income for people. Economic and financial freedom means more choices, a chance to breathe. After a tough time for so many, I am hopeful that this will mean great things for our students, grads, families and CW family too!
So Happy New Year, everyone! Prepare to continue to work hard, have a personal and profession vision including goals. Don't be afraid to be patient, roll up your shirt-sleeves and believe in yourself and the value of your college education. Put it to work now.
