WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A free advice panel will be held with two Brian Lamb School of Communication alumni on Nov. 20 for any undergraduate and graduate students.
This will be the third and final alumni panel of the semester hosted by BLSC. Previous panels, much like this one, have sought to help with career development.
Panel information:
- Who: Trevor Peters and Ashley Scott
- What: a panel to answer student questions about local job opportunities and how to find them in the Lafayette and Indianapolis area
- When: Nov. 20 at 3:00 p.m.
- Where: Beering Hall, room 1284
- Why: the head of BLSC, Marifran Mattson, invited the panelists
Trevor Peters graduated from BLSC in 2016 and is now a news reporter at WLFI-TV.
Ashley Scott graduated from BLSC in 2010. She is now the president of AGS Consulting in Indianapolis and was the former Operations Manager at MatchBOX Co-Working Studio in Lafayette.
Quotes:
“I was amazed that I didn’t have to go to a larger city to find an interesting job,” said Scott. “I think a lot of students just don’t know what is available here or how to find it. And that’s where we come in. This will be a very fascinating, useful panel.”
“One of the most valuable things we can do as a school is provide our students with access to our esteemed alumni who have so much knowledge to share,” Mattson said.
