April 7, 2009 Career Day
SCHEDULE

"The Ad Club Career Day connects motivated students with experienced professionals in a variety of fields including marketing, advertising and public relations. One of the most valuable components of the day, in my opinion, are the panels which allow students to learn about these fields and also give them the opportunity to speak directly to professionals about their experiences. Networking is critical, especially in this economy; and this is the only regional event that I know of which is directly targeted toward students interested in obtaining careers in marketing."
