Marketing students meet the pros

Nassau Community College hosted a marketing industry forum on Thursday, February 7, 2019, where over 120 highly motivated marketing, retailing and fashion students shared a unique learning experience.

Under the coordination of Marketing Chairperson Pat Lupino, faculty members invited leading experts to share their personal, professional, and business expertise with students.

Dr. W. Hubert Keen, NCC president, welcomed the students and was followed by Dean Jerry Kornbluth.

Professor Jack Mandel, emcee for the program, introduced the stellar panel consisting of: Bob Brennan, COO of Schneps Communications; Nancy Gilbert, Director of Marketing for the Simon Property Group; Andrew Krapf, Assistant Department Manager for Nordstrom; Ari Mendrinos, District Manager for Starbucks, and Robert Sinclair Jr., Manager of Media Relations for AAA Northeast.

The panel focused on such themes as networking, communication (both oral and written) skills, interviewing techniques, and follow-up ideas.
At the conclusion of the program, a luncheon was held for panel members. A “give and take” discussion of shared academic/business goals was a luncheon highlight.
