CHICAGO--May 16, 2006-- In a keynote address which kicked off the 2006 Job Expo at New York City College of Technology of The City University of New York (City Tech), Joseph R. Marciano, President and CEO of Oce Business Services, shared with an audience of approximately 800 students, faculty and alumni, some of his personal insights and lessons learned about being successful in business and in life. Abstaining from a traditional center stage keynote, Mr. Marciano interacted with the audience in the Klitgord Center Auditorium as he offered his thoughts on the value of hard work, professional development and the importance of ethical behavior. Based on solid life experiences, Mr. Marciano also focused on the value of a steadfast determination to set oneself apart; the effects of treating people in all levels of an organization with courtesy and respect; and the power of believing in oneself, setting high aspirations and creating, rather than waiting for, good luck. "Mr. Marciano delivered a wonderful and insightful keynote to our students, advising them on values that can have a profound effect on the success of a person's business and personal life," said Dr. Jerome H. Blue, Interim Vice President for Research, Governmental and Corporate Relations, New York City College of Technology, The City University of New York. "Mr. Marciano demonstrates the mentoring skills we look for in our speakers and our students appreciated his personable demeanor and sincerity." At the conclusion of his speech, Dr. Blue presented to Mr. Marciano a Certificate of Appreciation honorary plaque.
