While the final two years of Alumni''' willing college is an appropriate time to have mentors when applying to mentor students with different interests jobs, finalizing minors, and participating in other programs, we found that it may also be helpful for first-years can reach out year students to have alumni mentors because many are curious to find a career path to pursue and have short calls/sessions where ambitious career goals that they need to prepare for early on. This alumni directory would be online, and willing undergraduate business alumni can ask questions about careersadd their bios and LinkedIn to the directory.

We think students have existential anxiety linked to uncertainty surrounding their professional development and what they should be looking to achieve each year at Fordham. To mitigate this problem, we would create a brochure for Gabelli FirstSchool of Business first-Years''' years that provides will provide a rough roadmap of their time at Fordham as well as short what they should strive to achieve each year.

AdditionallyWith the help of a Fordham First Look Video Gallery, many former freshmen talked about their struggles when they were adjusting Fordham can provide videos narrated or contributed to campus lifeby students, as it was their first time being truly independent from their families alumni, industry professionals, and professors which explain different industries and away from /or their hometownsrespective roles. Our solution for increasing diversity Using YouTube or another easily accessible video creation platform, Fordham will be able to streamline and inclusion amalgamate a breadth of knowledge and helping those whose diets are incompatible with campus dining is expertise for underclassmen to hold an annual cultural food festival on campustake advantage of. This festival will include tabling events held by Internship recruitment has also been cited as a particular stressor for both first-year and sophomore students and local restaurants.

Vanditha and Julia would handle contacting the Deans, while Eden and Ojaswi would contact campus dining and other staff help shed more light on campus. We would also need to find students and local restaurants who what certain industries are interested in hosting tables at the event. Student representatives could include leaders of cultural clubs really about and Fordham's Office of Multicultural Affairs committeeswhat many jobs actually entail. As someone with experience the business sector in the restaurant industrygeneral, Eden would take the lead hereand finance sector in specific, with the rest of the teammates focusing on cold-calling, researchcan seem endless in its subsection, underclassmen students can feel overwhelmed and gathering student inputunderprepared. Additionally, due The Fordham First Look Video Gallery’s purpose is to the potential for address this event having high costs, we would need to figure out if admission fees and payments to table hosts are necessary, which may or may not affect the the level of interest for potential attendees. </span></span></span></big></span>

Fordham should gather alumni from all industries imaginable for a day or another video creation platforma weekend of networking and genuine conversation. The gallery would have videos which explain Imagine this as a different industries/roles by studentshomecoming, a call for a specific group of professionals who can also entertain stimulating talks with fellow alumni in the same industry. We firmly believe in the impact that these kinds of interactions can have on a student’s academic and professional journey. Being able to speak freely to several professionals, who have been in the field for less or more years would considerably help a student in crafting the best version of themselves. This would take out all the formality and professorsfear that we always find in the average career-related events.</span></span></span></big></span>
