B.E.S.T. (Black Employers Showcase and Talents)

We are so excited to host the inaugural B.E.S.T. (Black Employers Showcase and Talents), which will take place on Thursday, February 16 from 2PM – 5PM in the SU Ballroom. This event is intended to highlight local minority-owned and minority-led businesses by giving them a platform to showcase their organization to our racial/ethnic minority students, alumni, community members and friends. Our goal is to help increase the number of black students and early-career applicants in internships and jobs. While we want to be extremely intentional about Black/African American students seeing people that look like them represented, this event is open to everyone.
