BUS 2206: Career Readiness II - AANHPI Specialized Section

 

Hi Everyone -

With registration coming up in a few weeks, I’d appreciate your help sharing the attached flyer with your students. This section is designed for AANHPI (Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander) business students only. Space is limited.

This specialized section gives students the chance to explore how their identity, values, and lived experiences can build career confidence through storytelling. With mentorship, networking, career-focused activities, and cultural food experiences, students will make meaningful connections and learn how to show up authentically in the workplace.

Please note: Students interested in enrolling will need to scan the QR code and complete the form. Since this course is set to no-print, students who are approved will receive a permission number directly from me to register.

Please email me directly if you have any questions.

Thank you!
