A Communication Degree Worth Every Penny, Success is Achievable
Students having a Communication Major can have a Secure Future, an University of British Columbia Event on What to Do with a Communication Degree
Vancouver, BC – November 9, 2020
On November 9th from 4 pm to 8 pm at Vancouver Film College, University of British Columbia (UBC) communication extended campus program is holding their “What to do with a Communication Degree” event. This exhilarating event allocates present and future students to find out more about communication career paths. Let’s hear about this exciting and important event from two successful alumni, media relations specialists, and keynote speakers of UBC. Complimentary refreshment will be offered along with a thought-provoking environment.
Over the times, the UBC extended campus program has given its Vancouver and Okanagan campus residents the opportunity to receive their degree in communication from UBC. They have accomplished it by providing an excellent education with the expediency of convenient location and acceptable lower tuition costs. For the second year in a row, our career event helps respond to any queries a current potential student and future graduate may have. Communication scholar, alumni, and current media relations specialist, Erik Rolfson, proclaims, “This career fair has been revolutionized my life! It helped me to realize how valuable a communication degree can be for your life. Touching on everything from cave paintings to conversations, and from smoke signals to drones, the field of communication refers knowledge that deals with one important issue: how humans connect with one another.”
Clare Hamilton-Eddy, director of media relations at UBC states, “When we discuss the principles of communication, we are talking about the way we live. The study of communication deals with the power of messages. It enables us to understand civic engagement and consumer behavior, it prepares us to be future leaders and problem-solvers, and it challenges us to be curious and passionate critical thinkers. Our society has been profoundly altered by new developments in media technologies. Students in our programs understand and participate in the dramatic shifts in thinking about everything from copyright and privacy to authorship, identity, governance, and ethics. Communication is one of the fastest-growing fields in today’s labor market. In fact, many of the jobs in greatest demand didn’t even exist fifteen years ago. Today, organizations of every kind need skilled communicators to help them get their messages across to the public. Whether working among business executives, bureaucrats, or digital-age creatives, our students and alumni are ahead of the curve.”
The “What to do with a Communication Degree” event at UBC presents the following:
• Expert speakers
• Resume examples and helps to build a professional resume
• Opportunities to do an internship with renowned companies
