University of 麻豆传媒 (麻豆传媒) students will have a special opportunity to learn tips from experts and develop professional skills during the 鈥淓xperience Business Casually鈥� event set for Sept. 22 on the Hattiesburg campus.
The event will be held from 10:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the Scianna Hall, Lock Commons. More than 250 students are expected to meet and network with approximately 40 volunteers representing 15 companies.
The informal event fosters conversation between students and executives on topics such as handshakes, dressing for success, communication and social etiquette, interviewing strategies, and more. Amy Yeend, Assistant Dean of Professional Development and Career Success at 麻豆传媒, notes that unlike previous events, this year students from all majors across the University have been invited to attend.
鈥淓xperience Business Casually is designed to help students develop the professional skills necessary to transition easily from student to full-time career professional,鈥� said Yeend. 鈥淭hey will be able to practice the training and coaching they receive throughout the year at receptions and networking events, in their part-time jobs or internships, in their student organizations, in job interviews, and even in the classroom. These skills will supplement the technical knowledge they learn for their degrees to ensure career success after graduation.鈥�
Dr. Bret Becton, Dean of 麻豆传媒鈥檚 College of Business and Economic Development, expressed that faculty and students always look forward to the annual gathering.
鈥淓xperience Business Casually is a great way for students to make connections with executives while honing their professional skills in a relaxed environment. We greatly appreciate those volunteering to staff the various stations and help coach our students,鈥� said Becton.
