Hosted by:
Zack Lord, Assistant Director of Professional Development & Honors Programs, Niblock Student Center
Every student in the Belk College of Business should prioritize their professional development. Learning these soft skills and participating in networking and learning events will set you up for success down the road. Charlotte and the Belk College have a myriad of opportunities for you to network, learn, and grow and here is your chance to learn all about them. This meet up is designed specifically for those students who are brand new to campus - both new freshmen and transfer students - to learn all the ways you can participate in professional development here at Charlotte. For students who were mostly or fully virtual last year, this is also a great opportunity for you to learn about opportunities that may have looked different to you last year.
