In an effort to increase 

awareness 
of 
opportunities 

within the communications 
field and to build alumni 
involvement 
with 
students, 

the University of Michigan’s 
Department of Communication 
Studies introduced its career 
exploration series event Friday 
at the Michigan Union.

Communication 

undergraduate 
students 

met 
and 
engaged 
with 

prominent 
alumni 
involved 

in the entertainment media 
industry. They shared their 
experiences for students to 
build future connections and 
understand what is needed to 
be successful.

Margaret 
Mason, 

undergraduate coordinator in 
the Communication Studies 
Department, said this year’s 
goal was to have more events 
and networking opportunities 
for students to attend.

“We strived to have more 

targeted career areas because 
we wanted the students who 
came to be really interested 
in 
the 
information 
being 

presented to them,” Mason 
said. “While this is smaller, 
which is what we expected, I 
think there will be continued 
consistent turnout for future 
events.”

Among 
those 
present 

to speak as panelists were 
Hillary 
Handelsman, 
a 

writer’s assistant for CBS’s 
“Life in Pieces,” and Rachel 
Schloss, a director of brand 

marketing at USA Networks. 
Others included Val Boreland, 
executive 
vice 
president 

of 
content 
strategy 
and 

acquisitions 
entertainment 

networks 
at 
NBCUniversal, 

and 
Alexandra 
Detwiler, 

an 
entertainment 
booking 

producer for NBC News.

Students were offered the 

opportunity to meet panelists 
face to face to ask personal 
questions they might not have 
been able to ask during the 
main event.

Some students, including 

LSA senior Flora Conley, were 
grateful this was included in 
the event.

“As a senior, I believe this 

is a great opportunity to learn 
more about the entertainment 
industry, especially since this 
is a profession I would like 
to get involved in,” Conley 
said. “To meet with alumni 
one on one, learn of their 
perspectives, in addition to 
receiving great advice is very 
helpful.”

In addition to students’ 

individual 
meetings 

with 
panelists, 
Melissa 

Bauernfeind, 
events 
and 

communications 
specialist, 

said 
it 
was 
helpful 
for 

students to hear how some 
panelists struggled to get to 
their current positions.

“I think what they are 

learning, especially if they 
are in the younger years of 
their studies is that they’re 
not quite sure what they want 
to do yet,” Bauernfeind said. 

Mason said this can help 

clear uncertainties looming 
after graduation.

“Most 
students 
do 
not 

have jobs lined up right after 
college,” Mason said. “This 
event showcases if you really 
want to be in a certain area, 
there’s a way to get there if 
you’re willing to work for it.”
