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.”
