The theme for this semester’s student-led conference is “Creating Careers for Change.” From November 15-18, members of the community are invited to participate in free workshops, presentations and interactive panels, all planned and organized by students in the “Principles of Management” course taught by Frank Futyma, Lecturer of Management, Business and Economics.
The biannual conference represents the culmination of months of hard work by the students who are responsible for coordinating all aspects of the event, as they engage in key management skills such as product development, networking, project management and financial planning.
