Hello, Marketing & Creative Community,
We hope the start of November is treating you well! It is time for us to highlight our community’s upcoming signature event that will be of interest to you all.
On November 12, 2024, from 7:30-9pm, we are hosting a “Careers in Design and Creative Fields” panel event, where we have three amazing alumni (Wenbo Guo ’20, Kristi Gaylord ’03, and Matthew Burg ’18) who will talk through their personal journey and provide advice for how you can succeed in your creative industries. This will be a great opportunity to network with professionals in the field and learn from their expertise.
Please see the official Handshake event page, and shoutout to student Gayatri Shetty from the Rochester Design Hub for creating the fantastic poster you see below and all around campus.
We look forward to seeing you at the event; please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
