Morgan State x Monday Talent
We kicked-off our partnership with Morgan State’s renowned Strategic Communication Department in February of this year, working with students in the university’s SCOM and Capstone classes. Our aim was to focus more on the practical and less on the theoretical with the goal of preparing these undergraduates for the workforce and helping them find jobs in the Communications and Marketing world.
In collaboration with the department’s Chair and our all-time favorite professor, David Marshall, we put together a syllabus that was constructive, relatable and (hopefully) fun. Our workshops ranged from a meme ladened presentation on how to get ahead in your career, a step-by-step guide to getting the very best from LinkedIn and of course, a fast-paced Q&A led by the class.
The highlight for us was the one-to-ones we had with each student, focusing on their individual LinkedIn profiles - although the conversations were in no way limited to that.
We were so impressed with the students and the quality of their LinkedIn profiles, we decided to feature a few standouts here:
Despite these first-class profiles, they absolutely do not do justice to the students behind them and the faculty at Morgan State. It was an honor to work with David, the incomparable Dr. Joonwoo Moon and all the undergraduates. We are already planning our next session.
