The 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校 Business Leaders student organization is committed to supporting the development of business skills and long-lasting relationships.
阿宾顿,爸爸. - - - 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校 Business Leaders (ABL) student organization hosted a conference recently highlighting the experiences of six business people, including an entrepreneur in supply chain management, 一个房地产经纪人和一个律师. 约有100名学生参加, and they left with specific suggestions for advancing their careers and maximizing opportunities to achieve their goals.
The conference is just one forum hosted each semester by ABL, which boasts the largest membership on campus thanks to its model of presenting large, targeted events that bring professionals to campus and defined biweekly meetings that address useful topics, 比如公开演讲, with the support of an expert guest.
“We want to support the business ecosystem at 宾州州立大学阿宾顿分校 and help all students achieve the best outcomes. We appeal to a lot of students because everyone needs business skills regardless of their interests. We also want to create connections that outlive our time at 阿宾顿,布雷特·达菲说, ABL总裁.
达菲，三年级学生 商科专业, co-founded the group during the spring of 2022 with Justin Heckler, who transferred to Penn State's University Park campus.
“Justin realized we needed a broad and diverse organization on campus that addressed the interests of all business students as well as current events. He pitched the idea to me, and I signed on right away. We branched out to all of our networks to recruit members” he said.
The ABL board, which is comprised of 12 to 15 officers, uses its size to its advantage. The officers are constantly expanding their personal networks and draw on them and share them with other members through events and meetings. They also are aggressive about promoting ABL.
“We ask faculty and staff to come and to promote events to students and alumni. It works because our slate of speakers is local and diverse, and it’s a privilege working with them,达菲说.
ABL reinforces the value of getting involved on campus, 也是ABL的指导老师, 商业项目主席 托马斯•斯通, has become a mentor to Duffey.
“I’m a member of the Finance and Investment Association, the Cybersecurity and IT Association, 自然俱乐部, and I’m a Student Government Association senator. I noticed that I enjoy my experiences more and I get more out of them since I got engaged on campus,达菲说.
Duffey chose to enroll at 阿宾顿 due to the quality of its business program. The strong alumni network and the campus’ proximity to his home in Bucks County also were important factors.
“This is the only school I seriously considered,达菲说, who works in supply chain management at the federal Defense Logistics Agency in Philadelphia.
