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 School of Business first-years that will provide a rough roadmap of what they should strive to achieve each year. Short synopses of helpful, career-oriented resources would be included as well.</span></span></span></big></span> <span style="font-size:x-small;"><big><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span>These pamphlets would hopefully be distributed to students in mass during their first months at the university through career services, PPD (a Gabelli-focused department), first-year faculty, and/or freshmen orientation.</span></span></span></big></span>

<span style="font-size:x-small;"><big><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: left; color: rgb(29, 28, 29); text-transform: none; text-indent: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; word-spacing: 0px; display: inline !important; white-space: normal; orphans: 2; float: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span>Many underclassmen report feeling anxious and unprepared for their impending career requirements (internships and technical knowledge expectations). With the help of a Fordham First Look Video Gallery, Fordham can provide videos narrated or contributed to by students, alumni, industry professionals, and professors which explain different industries and/or their respective roles. Using YouTube or another easily accessible video creation platform, Fordham will be able to streamline and amalgamate a breadth of knowledge and expertise for underclassmen to take advantage of. Internship recruitment has also been cited as a particular stressor for both first-year and sophomore students. So, the video gallery can help shed more light on what certain industries are really about and what many jobs actually entail. As the business sector in general, and finance sector in specific, can seem endless in its subsection, underclassmen students can feel overwhelmed and underprepared. The Fordham First Look Video Gallery’s purpose is to address this.  </span></span></span></big></span>
