Used Cars, Knives, and Vacuums - Battling the Anti-Sales StereotypeChris Fitzpatrick, Enterprise Rent-a-CarFor the past 3 years, Chris Fitzpatrick has been presenting to colleges on the stereotypes of salespeople and sales careers that many college students have, whether they know it or not. Thispresentation will discuss the origin of the stereotype and why this topic is critical on your collegecampus.Leveraging A College Education into a Professional CareerDean Stanton Green & Dr. Walter Greason, Monmouth UniversityThis workshop will be made up of a panel of professionals all of whom have significant academic andprofessional experience and success in connecting college learning with professional career buildingand connecting with employers. This will be a high powered and operational demonstration on howacademic learning must and can be reconfigured to articulate with career development.

The panelists all have 25 or more years of experience pertinent to this topicand include: an academic dean, a professor of music industry with high-level corporate experience,a professor of history and highly successful international entrepreneur and a career developmentconsultant.Build It and They Will Come: Building an Internship Conference for StudentsDebra J. Stark, Ramapo CollegeThis program is about building an engaging program for students on how to build skills and preparethemselves for an internship. We will review the concept and origination behind the InternshipConference, the planning, implementing, and assessment. We will provide an overview and tips onwhat worked and what didn't. The Internship Conference at Ramapo came about from an ideashared at the 2012 January Intern Bridge Conference. Connecting it to a campus wide StudentEngagement project and setting it up as a key point of engagement (KPE) for the sophomore andthen junior students gave the program broad support. We further engaged student clubs in theplanning, invited employers and faculty to participate, and asked local restaurants to sponsor. Theprogram is now in its 3rd year at Ramapo and attendance has been consistently high (100+) andratings excellent. The program provides a fun and interactive event for student to build importantinternship preparation skills, and for employer and faculty collaborations with the Career Center.Hired ‘Right’ Out of College, Equipping Students for Their CallingGarrett Miller, CoTria LLCGraduating smart students is not enough, higher education must graduate prepared students.Garrett spent 10yrs as recruiting manager for a Fortune 50 company. His experience brings a uniquetwist to this talk. Merging college resources with student life is the key to helping students find theircalling. Recruiters want to interview candidates that are ready to enter the workforce not those whoneed to be coddled or who are still searching to find themselves. Part of a student‘s preparation is todiscover her skills, talents, and gifts so that she understands in which direction her calling lies. Thereare few experiences more rewarding than interviewing a candidate who knows what he wants to doand why. These candidates are easy to hire because they have the experiences that speak to theircareer objectives. Campuses are full of opportunities to help candidates become the well-preparedcandidate. There is a 5 step process to help your students find their calling and prepare for theirinterview and it is as easy as AEIOU. Attendees will learn the value of engaging students early andhelping them understand what it means to be busy with a purpose.Attendees will see that the resources needed to help these students are already available at theirfingertips. Attendees will understand why a well-prepared student is valuable to the recruiter, theuniversity, and the CSO. Page | 5

Creating an Internship Culture on Campus by Engaging First Years and Building PartnershipsSue Pye, Rutgers UniversityRutgers University Career Services has embarked on a mission to create an internship culture at theRutgers University New Brunswick Campus with a specific focus on School of Arts and Sciencesstudents. Since each year represents a new opportunity to shape the campus culture and theperceptions of the incoming first year class, UCS has created a strategy to engage with first yearstudents to help them become ―Internship Ready‖ by their junior year. While many students knowinternships are important there is a perception that this idea is something to ―worry about‖ duringjunior year. While students may express their interest in internships as juniors, many have not builtenough experience to identify career areas or interest and/or be competitive for internships. Duringthe session, you will learn the primary goal of the UCS ―RU Internship Ready‖ campaign including thepartnerships to support this work as well as the program and services provided.Creative Partnering with Professional OrganizationsBeth Branigan, Seton Hall UniversityThis presentation will focus on the SHU Career Center's partnership with the Network of ExecutiveWomen (NEW) and the Pharmaceutical Market Research Group (PMRG) and the programs thathave grown out of these collaborations. It will include highlights of 2 mentoring programs, an annualnetworking event for marketing students and 'Adventures in Retail', a program which bringsmarketing alive for our students and is an example of a partnership between faculty, the CareerCenter and NEW.Adopted Employers: Enhancing Employer EngagementWenylla Reid & Janet Jones, Rutgers UniversityThe Adopted Employers Program consists of 9 Career Development Specialists (CDS) ―adopting‖ agroup of employers for the academic year. The purpose of the program is to:  Provide better customer service to employers focused on partnership  Ensure employers are optimizing usage/engagement with UCS to meet their needs  Help CDS staff to become familiar with the employers in their individual career clusters  Encourage employers to participate in all aspects of employer engagement  Educate employers on best methods to recruit students/build their brand on campusThe role of the CDS‘s is to obtain a sense of the effectiveness of the activity that is already in placeand to provide additional support if needed. It is also to offer the employer an additional point ofcontact as they build or maintain their brand on campus.Creating Networking Opportunities On-Campus for the Healthcare IndustryJacqueline Maginnis, Seton Hall UniversityCareer management relies heavily on networking, developing contacts, and having good mentors inplace. However, the coordination of career management practices in college environments variesfrom campus to campus. Ideally, Career Centers, faculty, administration, students, and employersshould work together to achieve successful employment after graduation – there should be a co-ownership of employment outcomes. During this facilitated discussion, learn how strong partnerships,active student organizations, employer plans and engagement can help build strong futures. At theend of this session, participants will be provided with an example of how a Career Center, faculty,students, and employers developed a successful networking event that illustrated various careerswithin the Healthcare Industry.

Toooften, reported measures do not capture the full essence of what is delivered and the value added.Regrettably, an often neglected aspect to creating and implementing strategic initiatives is anecessary measurement strategy that runs parallel to these initiatives.
