Thursday, October 19, 2023

Students from the Computer Science and Data Science clubs met with Mike Marusic, the CEO of Sharp, following his Presidential Speaker Series talk. This provided Ramapo students with the unique experience of engaging in a small group discussion with the chief executive of a major corporation. Mr. Marusic emphasized the importance of having a strong work ethic and investing time in building a professional network. “I learned that networking on LinkedIn is very important as a student,” said Computer Science Club president Daniel Rajakumar ’26. Students were given the opportunity to ask Mr. Marusic anything, such as what it’s like to work as a CEO, career advice, predictions of future trends in the job market, and more. Data Science Club faculty advisor Dr. Debbie Yuster adds, “Our students had great questions, and Mr. Marusic’s answers were very enlightening. One of the secrets to his success has been taking risks, such as moving between roles in completely new areas of the company. It was amazing for our students to have the opportunity to chat with and learn from such an important leader in business.”
