Special Announcement:
New Career Services Director!
Tom Monaco joined the Graduate School of Business School as Director of Career Services on October 22. He believes that right now is the perfect time for his arrival and for alumni to become reconnected with the School since the Dean and the faculty are judiciously defining priorities and redefining the school. As you would expect, Tom has countless ideas for partnering with students, faculty, and recruiters. Understanding what is already working (and areas that can be strengthened) will help him prioritize and build an action plan from those myriad of ideas. Tom intends to begin his time at Fordham by gathering details about who the students are, what the Fordham culture is all about, what our students need from career services, and how we have previously worked with recruiters.
