Contrary to the experience we had in 2008/2009 when the finance industry suffered from a severe setback we do not observe the same cut-down in recruiting.

Diversity across industries, non-profits, NGO’s, and also diversity among job functions is what will best position our students for continued success. Also, instilling ‘scrappy’ behaviors in our students – resiliency, research, networking, etc will help them find the fewer jobs that will be out there.
