Íæż½ã½ãstudents collaborate with AT&T for Hack-A-Pitch event
Íæż½ã½ãstudents meet with officials at the AT&T Foundry® for a collaborative exercise.
In March, Íæż½ã½ãstudents met with AT&T Emerging Business Markets co-located at the AT&T Foundry® innovation center for a collegiate “Hack-A-Pitch” event. The collaborative exercise led by Íæż½ã½ãalumna , president of AT&T’s Emerging Business Markets, provided students from a variety of campus organizations with an opportunity to discuss student life enhancement ideas while gaining real-world business experience.
During the half-day event, staff, students and alumni were divided into small groups for brainstorming sessions on enhancing recruitment, campus life, residence hall life, job recruiting and alumni engagement. Presentations of the ideas were then made to the larger event group and AT&T and Íæż½ã½ãexecutives.
The collaboration ultimately produced 30 ideas that are being considered for implementation across the Íæż½ã½ãcommunity.
