Dear Graduate and Professional Program Coordinators,

Please circulate this announcement to your graduate and professional
students.

Free Professional Development Workshop
Graduate & Professional Students from Across Campus are Invited to Attend 

What: Developing Your 30-Second Brand Statement *new topic*

I have a brand and you have a brand. A brand is simply a promise of value;
every successful professional and company is successful, in part, because
they know how to articulate their brand. The ability to communicate your
promise of value is vitally important not only for crafting your own career
path, but also for finding out about hidden opportunities and jobs. In this
workshop, we learn the fundamentals of branding as it relates to career
development and planning strategy. We will work together to develop your own
30-second brand statement which you can use in networking, and informational
and job interviews. We will discuss the connection between brand, attitude
and reputation, and why every interaction with someone affects how people
perceive your brand. You will leave this workshop with the ability to
elucidate your own brand to whomever you meet, giving you a critical
competitive edge in your career and the job market.

When: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 from 5:30-6:30 pm
