Media, Marketing, and Public Relations: Alumni Panel and Networking Event
Sponsored by the JHU Arts, Entertainment, Media, and Entrepreneurship Affinity and the Life Design Lab
The highly anticipated and ever-popular annual January Intersession alumni panel is back! This evening highlights Professor Leslie Kendrick's Media and PR in the Big Apple class. Annually, current Hopkins students have the opportunity to connect with companies, learn from informational interviews, and ask questions. Hopkins alumni graciously share their personal experiences, challenges and victories, and pathways that led them from Homewood to their present day lives. As the digital work evolves, so do these stories and they are always fascinating!
The evening will begin with a moderated panel discussion followed by Q&A with our alumni panelists and breakout sessions.
