GSFAC Career Development Panel
May 5, 2010 at Publicis Modem
A lot of information went down.
The first GSFAC "Career Development Panel Discussion & Reception" proved to be a great success. With over 50 attendees the students and young professionals got to ask the questions and often put some of the distinguished panelists "in the hot seat". GSFAC took the opportunity to award
$3,000 worth of scholarships to high school and college students during the event and honored the Local Student Teams from USF and imagiCal (UC - Berkeley) that participated in AAF's NSAC this year. We look forward to the GSFAC Job Fair event this Fall and know it will be every bit as succesful.
