CRS Engaging Careers NYC 2015
2015
The Department of Communication and Rhetorical Studies’ Engaging Careers NYC is a two-day experience for undergraduates that hones and develops their networking skills. Each day is designed as a career-focused experience that brings CRS students into New York City to engage in constructive dialogue with alumni in diverse professions at various career stages. Students discuss with these mentors practical and creative applications of the communication industry as well as strategies and tools for success in securing opportunities.
