I want to help the students the way my professors helped me,” Mroz said. “I’m proud to say I want to be their colleague and stand with them as they teach the students coming up now. That’s the impact that I felt by going through this program.

Executive in Residence Program

Adelphi’s Executive in Residence Program often features successful alumni who return to campus to make a difference in the lives of Willumstad students. A recent example is Bharat Bhisé, MBA ’78, CEO and founder of Bravia Capital, who guest lectured in finance courses, participated in the Insights From Experts lecture series, and mentored many students.

A business is five very distinct things: equity of the owners or the shareholders; your management; your customers; your vendors; and the community you live in. When at least three of these five separate stakeholders are not aligned, the business will probably fail…There were businesses that may not have been as likely to succeed but did—because all five were completely aligned.

Women’s Leadership Conference

On this annual day of learning and networking, exceptional alumni and community members across industries share experiences and advice on how to thrive in today’s ever-changing world.

Success in business comes from a desire to constantly learn, adapt and innovate. Embrace change, never stop growing, make an impact….A simple but effective rule to follow is to always lead with the 3 “Cs” – confidence, competence and credibility”.

Humera Qazi '93 Women's Leadership Conference speaker and managing director at Morgan Stanley
