Practicing professionals in a range of communications fields - writing for the internet, corporate communications, public relations, information design, magazine writing, science writing, writing in consulting firms, electronic journalism, medical communications, and writing for the software industry -- come to campus to talk with students and answer their questions. Speakers generally talk informally about what they do, how they got into their fields, how students can prepare to enter those fields, and related career options. At the end of each session there is generally time for students to talk individually with speakers.
