Hello Business Niners!
The Belk College of Business Peer Guides hope that you all had an enjoyable Fall Break. On October 5th,2022 the Professional Development team hosted a Lunch & Learn: Where are Business Niners Now? In the form of an alumni panel.
The panelists included past Charlotte graduates: Jeff Stewart ‘93, Courtney Hunt '18 (Marketing), Ethan Norman '15 (Economics), and Jingjing Zhao '14 (Finance).
Two of our fellow Peer Guides had the opportunity to attend the event and what they enjoyed the most was feedback on the importance of creating strong connections with our professors and to strive to go above and beyond what is expected of you in college.
One quote that resonated with a Peer Guide specifically would be: “Go to career fairs, and take advantage of all the opportunities on campus. There are so many ways to get involved, whether it is through clubs or on-campus employment. You never know who you’ll meet and what connections you could gain just by getting involved.”
The benefits of attending Lunch & Learns, PD Meet Ups and other Niblock Student Center events are endless so I encourage you to attend as many as you can and network as much as possible. You may just meet your future employer!
