The panelists took the opportunity to speak to students about professional development along with introducing students to each of their diverse programs. Each program offered students one-on-one mentoring, workshops, coaching and internships for extensive career development. Panelists emphasized the fact that these programs offer students belonging to diverse backgrounds with career opportunities for future development. Multi-talented Baruch students Chelsi Hurst – NABA Baruch President and ALPFA Baruch President, and Hector Cardona also offered Baruch students advice about joining leadership programs by sharing their personal experiences with a few of these programs.
