What should incoming students know about BLC?

 

The biggest benefit of the Business Learning Community is the professional development offered throughout the year. Aside from learning about topics including dining etiquette and resume development, the BLC has given me the opportunity to put what I’m learning into practice and expand my network through company site visits and video conferencing with business professionals throughout the community.

How have you engaged in professional development as a result of BLC?

 

While BLC does place an emphasis on professional development, the experience provides many opportunities to have fun. For example, a high ropes course is utilized for team bonding, as well as the Top Golf Swing Suite in Uptown Charlotte. While these activities do not happen every week, there is a balance that makes the entire experience entertaining for everyone.
