On Oct. 28, the Student Advisory Council to the Dean of the College of Business held its third Internship Workshop for students both in-person and virtually. The workshop has been held for several semesters and is geared toward helping College of Business students learn about internships, where to look for opportunities, interview tips, best practices, and more.

Panelists included: Syed Ali representing Economics, Finance, M.B.A., MIS; Lance Taylor representing Accounting, Finance, Graduate (M.S.A.); Kara Exum representing Accounting; Chelse Cisneros representing HR Management; Paige Chaisson representing Marketing.
Throughout the workshop, a lively discussion was held that covered topics from communication and soft skills, service offered by the College of Business, ways to gain academic credit, and more. At the close of the session the panel shared action items that the attendees can complete after the workshop that will help them immediately utilize the tips learned during the workshop.
The Student Advisory Council has been working tirelessly this semester to plan programming for their peers that will not only enrich their college experience, but will help prepare them for their future careers. They are set to host an Interview Workshop on Nov. 4 in Galloway with the goal of helping students with their interview preparedness as well as introduce them to interview styles that are prevalent in the workforce today.
