business networking communication mentorshipStudent-led networking event for industry professionals and students in the Dept of Communication. The event is designed to foster student success, engagement and retention. This has been a successful annual event that started last year. It led to further mentoring sessions and connections for potential field place. The members of the student organizing team also ended getting a job after graduation.
Student team will be charged for applying for mini-grant to help fund the event. The members will be creating the program, inviting the speakers, and promoting the event to industry professionals as well as students in the program.
Space, mentorship, and some departmental resources if needed will be provided for students. I will meet with them regularly for updates.
