Q:I thought I saw this post further down...what's it doing up here?
A:If the blogger were to, hypothetically, delete an old post then posting it again would move it up here

Let's Recap...
As the golf outing (and the nice weather that came with it) fade into our memories, we keep pushing forward with educational and - dare I say - fun Friday events.
First, all first-years had the opportunity to spend a day with Advisory Board member Tara Khoury from North American Kao Brands and Dick Satterfield, Managing Partner of Satterfield Associates, Inc. With years of experience in marketing and branding, they shared some great insights and walked us through our resumes. I thought it was great that, after already putting my resume through the ringer, they were still able to offer some additional suggestions for improvement. After lunch, we finished our day with some quick mock interviews. I will say it's a little awkward being interviewed in front of your peers, but very beneficial.


We followed this with an engaging presentation last Friday by Johnson & Johnson Senior Vice President of Global Design and Design Strategy, Chris Hacker. Chris focused his presentation on sustainability and it was great to hear what he had to say about the challenges a company like J&J faces, and what they're doing to tackle them.
At the end of the day, just two more examples of the kinds of awesome opportunities afforded all of us in the program here at UW-Madison.
