Comm Studies Career Symposium

The Cal Poly Communication Studies Club is hosting an annual Career Symposium this week.  Organized by Comm Studies student Emily Beth Bernstein, the Symposium provides an opportunity for students to discover ways that they can use their Communication Studies Degree. 

The event will feature professionals from various communication studies-related jobs and keynote speakers presenting about their careers. Students will learn more about careers in marketing, public relations, development, nonprofits, government, and recruiting. Such careers include skills in written communication, coordination, social perceptiveness, spoken communication, active learning, critical thinking, and fluency of ideas. This is also an opportunity for alumni, faculty, and professionals to network. 

The first portion of the event will contain four keynote speakers along with time for questions and answers. The event will feature a marketing specialist from MINDBODY, a recruiter from Clarity Technology Partners, a retired SLO District Representative for Congresswoman Capps, and the Director of Development from Stand Strong. 

The last half of the event will offer various professional development opportunities including networking opportunities, a resume workshop station, and a professional photographer who can take LinkedIn photos. The event is open to all students and lunch is provided.
