The Business Learning Community (BLC) enjoyed a sunny, spring day in Uptown Charlotte last week!
Students took a 25 minute ride on the Blue Line from campus to 9th Street Station in Uptown. The morning began with a walking tour of Uptown Charlotte starting in First Ward Park. Students then walked to 7th Street Market, up College Street, down Tryon Street, past the Bank of America Corporate Center, past Wells Fargo II, all the way to the Duke Energy Center, and then west through Latta Arcade to Romare Bearden Park.
The day ended with a behind-the-scenes tour of Bank of America Stadium, home of the Panthers.
BLC Members are actively engaged with academic, social, and professional development opportunities. The community provides students with unique ways to expand business knowledge and sills while connecting with Charlotte area businesses, faculty, staff, fellow students, and campus resources. Check out the Business Learning Community website for more information!
Women in Business Ambassadors and Affiliates were invited to the Belk College of Business's first Spring Women in Business Alumni Networking Luncheon. The students arrived prior to the luncheon and had the opportunity to network with many successful professionals in Charlotte.
Natalia Jenkins shared her experience and growth by being apart of the Women in Business Initiative (WIB). She specifically highlighted her time at last year's 2017 WIB Fall Retreat. "By becoming more involved with WIB, I had the opportunity to go on the fall retreat hosted in Greenville, SC. We talked about the inequalities that we face as women in the workplace and how we can combat these barriers. The most memorable activity from the retreat was working on elevator pitches. We partnered up and recorded one another. Seeing myself on camera really showed me areas that I could improve and what I was doing well", said Natalia.
After Natalia spoke, the afternoon featured a presentation by executive coach and Belk College alumna, Heidi Hansen. Heidi is a multi-lingual, with over two decades of corporate training and adult education experience specializing in developing face-to-face networking and facilitating career growth for business professionals.
Heidi's presentation was titled "Purposeful Networking: Dismantle Fear, Build Confidence, Be Effective". The topic was tailored to improve interpersonal skills for introverts in middle and executive management.
