Testimonials

Ruben Colon Velazquez

Early Careers Program Lead, Mondelez International

"The event is a must for University Relations leaders. The perfectly curated program not only tackled the fundamentals of this profession, but it also offered great insights into current trends and opportunities in the industry. The Forum served as a great networking event, as I was able to meet great peers and share best practices with them. This was, by far, the most well-rounded conference about campus recruiting I have ever attended, and I strongly recommend it!"
