�鶹�� hosted the First Annual Economic Outlook sponsored by the Bucks County Industrial Development Authority (BCIDA) on January 24 at �鶹�� Family’s Newtown East campus location.

The event, a collaboration between BCIDA and Startup Bucks, included a keynote address by Timothy Chubb, Chief Investment Officer at Girard, who reviewed recent history and projections for U.S growth, the labor market and inflation. �鶹�� President Anne Prisco joined BCIDA Chairman Steve Marzullo, Regional President at C&N Bank Blair Rush, local entrepreneur Tom Krol, and Director of Research at CBRE Joe Gibson in a panel discussion on trends in the Bucks County business community and strategies to attract, educate, train, and retain the workforce to grow both productivity and profitability.

“�鶹�� Family is honored to be hosting this event in Bucks County,” Dr. Prisco said in welcoming a room full of local business leaders. “Over the last two and a half years since I joined �鶹�� Family, the university’s footprint has continued to grow in Bucks County. A third of our students, faculty and staff live in Bucks County. As we expand in the region and continue to develop new programs – in healthcare, cybersecurity, bio-manufacturing, life sciences, and technology – we are also giving thought to how we structure these courses, including certificate programs and how we train both traditional students and adult learners to meet the demands of the workforce.”
