Networking with your classmates and other Toronto PR programs is essential to a student’s professional development, and the Student Steering Committee (SSC) was able to provide that opportunity with a Mix & Mingle event on November 18. The SSC was joined by Humber, Seneca, Centennial, Durham and Ryerson students at Hemingway’s Restaurant & Bar in Yorkville, where we had a chance to meet and chat with these aspiring PR practitioners over drinks and appetizers.
It is that time of the year when public relations students are busy with major projects and exams and it was amazing to have the chance to let our hair down and meet other students from PR programs all over the GTA. Young professionals and previous members of the SSC also attended the event and provided students a look into their budding PR careers.
The event allowed us to hear other students’ stories and compare experiences from both in and outside of the classroom. The chance to speak with young professionals was invaluable and students received useful advice about internships and how to set themselves apart in the industry.
The SSC would like to thank all those who were able to come out and would love to invite everyone once again to the next Mix & Mingle in January!
