Two keys to future success are understanding the unique value you bring to a team as well as the ability to communicate effectively and confidently. The Communications Pathway, presented by the Brock-Wilson Center for Women in Business and the Communications faculty at the Daniels School, is a novel initiative open to School of Business students of all levels.
This series of free workshops offered throughout Spring 2023 benefits students by offering higher-level communication skills from advanced courses. Professors use a variety of approaches to explore the spectrum that is communication, and how by mastering certain skills, students will be more successful in school and their careers. Students may attend individual sessions or the entire series. Registration is required.
Director Putman says, "This Communications Pathway is one way the Brock-Wilson Center for Women in Business supports undergraduates at the Daniels School. By bringing this important content to these students, they will graduate knowing they can communicate effectively and confidently."
