What is going on in the Department of Communication

COM Week continues today…

September 23, 2009 by Kelly Wood

  • Don’t miss Thursday at 6pm, an interactive workshop on getting more money $$ by applying for scholarships, Craig 204.
  • And, don’t forgot to RSVP for the Networking Luncheon in Craig 375 by Thursday at 5pm.

TODAY’S SCHEDULED SESSION

Please join us for the panel “Great Careers in Communication: Options You Never Knew Existed” that will be held today at 3:00 PM in Craig 205. This is a great opportunity to discuss with current communication students who have had successful internship experiences and have great tips for embarking upon the job search process. The panelists and a brief overview of their experiences are listed below.

Name: Lauren Wilson

Position: Human Resources Graduate Leadership Development Intern, Yahoo! Inc.

Overview: Last summer I interned at Yahoo! in Sunnyvale California and worked on the University Recruiting team to develop a long term diversity strategy focused on women in technology. In order to complete my project I worked closely with 4 internal departments, 14 top-tier universities, 37 diversity organizations and held 2 focus groups. In the end, I developed customized recruiting procedures for each University geared at planning campus recruiting events for female computer science students and increasing the number of hires. My internship also consisted of recruiting 130+ advertising and sales candidates for a new branch in Omaha Nebraska. After formally presenting my work to the HR executive team I was offered a full-time position upon graduation in May. My background also includes an undergraduate internship at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City.

Name: Jeff Norris

Position: Intern for Kansas City Starlight Theatre’s Marketing Department

Overview: My main responsibility was establishing Starlight’s reputation online through social media including Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and YouTube.  I helped create social media contests, videos and a variety of other online promotions.  I also planned and coordinated private events for large businesses such as Beauty Brands, US Bank and Morgan Stanley. Along with those responsibilities I also helped draft press material such as press releases, fact sheets and biographies.

Name: Ashley Jackson

Position: Events/Special Projects and Development intern

Overview: Epiphany Productions is a full-service event management and fundraising firm that works with nonprofit, corporate and political clients. As an intern, I was able to work on several fundraising events for National Republican Congressional Committee, A Hope for children, and the DreamMakers Basketball Academy.  My responsibilities included assisting in running the events, preparing for the events, collecting money that was raised for the events, and data input. I also had the opportunity to propose and draft plans for a 3-on-3 basketball tournament for the DreamMakers Basketball Academy.

We hope to see you there!
