As the PR coordinator for the business club, I've had many valuable opportunities outside of the classroom. It's been a great opportunity to network with professionals and gain valuable insight into the business industry, helping me build support for my career in the future. I've also enjoyed hearing about different professions every week during our club meetings as it has expanded my knowledge of various career paths.
