From September on, IUB students have the opportunity to meet chairmen from various industries. The lecture series “Business Leaders meet IUB” is a platform for exchange between industry & commerce and students.
[
Aug
10, 2005]
Professionals from diverse industrial sectors and professions are invited to campus to lecture on a topic related to their every day business. The lecturers are also asked to discuss their own professional background and career path. IUB students are invited to inform themselves further about the presented topic itself and the profession, industrial area or organization to which the presenter(s) belong, in the discussion following the lecture.
For our students the lecture series is a chance to expand their horizon beyond the boundaries of their courses. They also can find out more about graduate oportunities in the company. Usually a personnel representative joins the speaker: For companies it is a great way to get to know IUB students.
