Backpacks to Briefcases

image backpacks to briefcases logoimage girl with backpack on campusThe Backpacks to Briefcases program guides and supports students from their first year at Daniels through their transition to the working world. To symbolize this important time of growth, Daniels students receive a complimentary backpack when they enroll and briefcases embossed with the Daniels logo when they graduate.

The mission of Backpacks to Briefcases is two-fold:

  • Help students get the most of out of their college experience. 
  • Prepare students to realize their full potential when transitioning to the business world.

This mission is accomplished through fun and informative workshops, professional development programs, networking opportunities and other memorable experiences. Past events have included a "Fashion your Future" fashion show and seminar of business attire and etiquette, a Career Conference on "Negotiating your Career Path in a Difficult Economy" with specialized breakout sessions for everyone from first-year students to graduating seniors, and a workshop on "The Art of Small Talk" to help you make a great first impression at networking receptions, job fairs and other events.

Check back at the beginning of Fall quarter for the 2009-2010 Backpacks to Briefcases events.
