Opportunity in Action

Cesar Vivas ’27

For Cesar Vivas ’27, a first-generation Accounting student, those opportunities started with a trip to a national business conference. Through networking, professional development, and support from the Anisfield School of Business, Cesar earned a highly competitive internship with Grant Thornton, one of the world’s leading accounting firms, nearly a year before his internship even began.

“Ramapo opened doors I didn’t know were possible. Through networking, mentorship, and hands-on experiences, I gained the confidence to pursue opportunities that once felt out of reach. Landing an internship with a global accounting firm showed me that my career goals are closer than I ever imagined.”
