Following the Advertising Track & Passing Portfolio Review, September 30, 1999
The MMC will now be the advertising agency for Student Affairs. We will get paid for our work, and it will be a great way for some of our members to get great practical experience!
MCC faculty advisors Susan Seymour and Nancy Wilson gave members a suggested schedule of Advertising and Marketing Communications classes for transfer students to take, and a list of classes with will likely be offered this spring, followed by a question and answer session.
A question and answer session was held about portfolio review, comming up this October. Students are suggested to bring their best work (8-15 peices) from their core Advertising and Marketing Communications classes. Work from other schools, courses or internships is also encouraged, but it should not comprise more than 20% of a student's portfolio. Work should be presented in a professional manner, and a two-page written statement about the student's career goals and a list of courses taken should be turned in a week before the portfolio review.
MCC President Mindy Hampton invited club members to study or hang out in the MCC offices between classes. The offices are located on the upper level of the University Center.
