The Marketing Advisory Board joined the Marketing Capstone Course on April 24th, providing our graduating seniors invaluable insights into navigating early career paths in marketing and business. Panelists, Amy Cropper, Seth Lytton, and PearAivey Street, together with Moderator Donna Wertalik, shared honest experiences about the non-linear nature of their journeys, emphasizing the importance of staying curious, coachable, and open to change. They also highlighted the value of taking initiatives, embracing discomfort as growth opportunities, and building authentic connections. Students learned that failure and pivoting are both expected and valuable in shaping a fulfilling career. The students in Strategic Marketing also presented their final projects to a panel of judges, consisting of Don Gresh, Marc Kaplan, Rodney Kimbangu, Steve Kleiber, Michelle Seref, Cierra Simmons, and Phil Xiang, on April 29th and May 1st, receiving constructive, insightful feedback on their final projects and more broadly advice on business communication, personal branding, and strategic storytelling.
