Fox hosts National Society of Hispanic
MBAs career development event
The National
Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) Philadelphia held a free career development
event at the Fox School’s Alter Hall on Oct. 6. Sponsored by Campbell’s, Merck
and Vanguard, the evening featured representatives from each sponsoring company
and included activities such as panel discussions, resume reviews, mock
interviews, networking opportunities and an overview of NSHMBA’s National
Conference.
NSHMBA is a nonprofit
organization that works to foster Hispanic leadership in the U.S. and to increase
cultural awareness and sensitivity in today’s diverse workforce. With 32
chapters and 8,000 members in the U.S. and Puerto Rico, the society is known as
the nation’s “Premier Hispanic Organization.”
“NSHMBA Philadelphia’s goal is to bring talented
Latino professionals and MBAs together with top hiring companies in the
Philadelphia area to enhance their career opportunities and prepare them well
for the hiring process,” said Orna Wiseman, president of NSHMBA Philadelphia.
Working with the
Fox School in years past but never having held an event on Temple’s campus
before, NSHMBA accepted the Fox School’s offer to host the precursor to the
society’s National Conference, which runs from Oct. 21 through Oct. 23 in
Chicago.
