I met with Cindy from the BCC yesterday and gave her information on our Retail Leadership Symposium. It will now be posted on the BCC’s info board and under “Info Sessions” on Buckynet. Our Symposium’s purpose is to bring in speakers from major retailers and have them present on a variety of topics. For example, the VP of Trek comes in and speaks on manufacturing, or Chairman Bob from Roundy’s comes in to speak about Brands and private labels. After the symposium, there is time for questions and to meet the speakers!

The Retail Club and MKT hosted a panel event last night where we invited in Store Managers from leading companies. The companies represented were Kohls, Target, AT&T, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Maurices, Roundys, and Bridgestone/Firestone. It was a really fun and informative event that gave our students a chance to ask them why they chose to work store-side. It was a great event that we hope to put on yearly!
