Catch the spirit: Business & Breakfast, Tuesday, April 10; Real Deal Field Day, Thursday, April 12
Spreading the word about what the College of Management has to offer current and prospective students. That's what students in BUS 465 - Integrated Marketing Communications - have been focusing on this semester. They've discovered that there's a lot of great teaching and activity going on at the college, but not enough people know about it. They've also learned that students want more opportunities to get together with faculty and each other informally.
To help with both points, the students have scheduled two events for next week:
- Business & Breakfast, a casual drop-in breakfast session for students and faculty on Tuesday, Apr. 10, in th Student Commons
- The 'Real Deal Field Day' on Thursday, Apr. 12, at the Maryanne Fox Field. This event is co-sponsored by BUS 465 students and the College of Management Student Advisory Board (COMSAB). Read more about these activities, and read the students' blog about their semester-long project.
