"The Watson Executive in Residence program is a hallmark of our business department here at DelVal," said Dr. Tanya Casas dean of the School of Business, Arts and Science. "It not only provides an opportunity for our students to meet with professionals like Matthew Riddick, but it also honors the outstanding legacy of Dr. Thomas W. Watson '57 and his unwavering support for the University's educational mission."
During the WEIR event, Riddick explored the power of taking ownership of your career journey and staying adaptable in an ever-changing business landscape, and provided valuable insight and advice to DelVal students, faculty and staff.
"Begin with the end in mind, but the end is only the beginning," said Riddick.
