STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
The Ecommerce Society Invites Students Seeking Fun, Friends, and Facts on IT to Join
The ecommerce society kicked off the new year with its first meeting on Wednesday September 26th. The society is open to all interested students. It is most relevant to those in the ecommerce specialization, but it’s a great networking opportunity for those of you who are majoring in accounting, management, and marketing, too.
The ecommerce society is dedicated to helping you network with ecommerce professionals; prepare for a career in ecommerce and IT; and learn hands-on approaches to developing Web presences for businesses in a fun and friendly atmosphere that fits around members’ work and school schedules. Some officer positions are still open, and taking a leadership position in the society is a wonderful way to demonstrate your abilities to future employers.
Please join us at our next meeting in early October. We are planning an exciting year of hands-on workshops, career-related events, and guest speakers from ecommerce and IT. For more information, contact Kate Rutkowski at katerut@camden.rutgers.edu or the faculty advisors Dr. Ken Kendall at kendallk@crab.rutgers.edu or Dr. Julie Kendall at kendallj@crab.rutgers.edu.
