ABOUT THE EVENT
This year Quinnipiac University's School of Communications will hold its second annual interdisciplinary professional development event, bringing all four departments within the school together on Friday, March 1, 2013, at the Rocky Top facility on the York Hill Campus. The QU Media MashUp invites all School of Communications students to experience and participate in the event.
The purpose and structure is twofold: a career development fair specifically designed for SoC students with more than 50 media companies attending, and a series of interactive sessions with 20 professionals speaking on a number of topics such as shifts in media development, the importance of interdisciplinary skill sets in the current work force, and emerging media platforms with local, national, and global significance.
This collaborative effort is part of the School’s continuing effort to create an interdisciplinary environment for future student development. This year's event is based on survey feedback from SoC students who attended Media MashUp in 2012. This feedback determined the subjects students wanted to see addressed. Thus, the program is designed by and for the students.
This event was made possible through funding from the Office of Academic and Student Affairs and the School of Communications.
