A group of students in the Martha and Spencer Love School of Business is organizing the university’s first International Career Conference.
The conference, which will be held on March 1 in Moseley Center, aims to encourage global thinking and cultural awareness, prepare students for the global workplace and showcase career opportunities outside of the U.S.
Geoff Scott, president of Scott Asset Management, will deliver the keynote address titled, “The Impact of International Careers.”
Under the guidance of Jefferson Pilot Professor of Economics Thomas Tiemann, students created an agenda that includes a panel discussion and the following breakout sessions:
• “International Business and Global Supply Chains” – Michael Schofer, Coats Plc.
• “The Department of Commerce and International Trade” – Samuel Troy, U.S. Department of Commerce
• “Living/Working in a Foreign Country” – Thomas Nelson, associate professor of communications, Elon University
• “The Role of Non-Governmental Organizations Abroad” – David Sokal, FHI 360.
Students of all majors are encouraged to attend as many sessions as their schedules allow.
There is no cost to participate and students do not need to pre-register.
