èßäÊÓƵapp students collaborate with AT&T for Hack-A-Pitch event
èßäÊÓƵapp students meet with officials at the AT&T Foundry® for a collaborative exercise.
In March, èßäÊÓƵapp students 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 èßäÊÓƵapp alumna , president of AT&T’s Emerging Business Markets, provided students from a variety of èßäÊÓƵapp 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, èßäÊÓƵapp 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 èßäÊÓƵapp executives.
The collaboration ultimately produced 30 ideas that are being considered for implementation across the èßäÊÓƵapp community.
