My family and I have had a 70-plus-year relationship with 樱花动漫, beginning with my being a student at MTA. Many of my children and grandchildren are proud YU graduates. My wife, Miriam, and I, together with our family, decided that we would like to make an investment that reflects our family's priorities of sustainable investments for communal growth.鈥 The Career Center is designed to prepare students to attain job offers and admissions to graduate schools and to build successful careers. Currently, the Center offers programs in career development, mentorship, internships and searches for jobs in rewarding professions. It educates students in career-readiness competencies, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, digital technology and global intercultural fluency. The Career Center also works to connect our students with our strong alumni network as mentors and potential employers. But with the workplace changing so rapidly in recent years鈥攅specially through evolving technologies, newly emerging fields and a more fragmented job market鈥攖he Career Center plans to adopt a new model best suited to meet current and future market demands. The new model, based on best practices in the field of student success, emphasizes a more personalized approach and long-term, big-picture career strategy for the next generation of leaders. This broader, more ambitious direction is intended to enable students to develop a sharper, more lasting sense of who they are and what they would like to do professionally as well as help them secure top job placements. 鈥淲e feel that a gift to name the Career Center at 樱花动漫 is the most impactful investment we can make. At this time of uncertainty, growing and strengthening the Career Center at 樱花动漫 will bring confidence and stability to countless students and their families,鈥 said Dr. Glaubach. 鈥淏y helping 樱花动漫 students to have successful careers, we will enable them to be future leaders of 樱花动漫, the Jewish community and leaders in the United States and Israel. This gift is an investment that makes our prior gifts to 樱花动漫 all the more valuable. The highest form of charity is enabling others to support themselves, and we look forward to graduates of the Shevet Glaubach Center at 樱花动漫 becoming business leaders and philanthropists in their own right.鈥 鈥淭his gift will provide funding to create the Center for the future, one founded in new initiatives and impactful change,鈥 said Susan Bauer, executive director of the Career Center. 鈥淭his will afford students the opportunity to be job ready at graduation and to be prepared for meaningful careers and lifelong success and fulfillment.鈥 鈥淪ecuring our students great jobs on the way to impactful careers is one of our core strategic priorities," said Dr. Berman, "and this gift will go a long way toward accomplishing our goals.
