MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL (10/01/2009) — The Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota will be the lead academic sponsor of the National Society of Hispanic MBA’s (NSHMBA) 2009 Conference and Career Expo coming Oct. 8-10 to the Minneapolis Convention Center, 1301 2nd Ave S. Minneapolis.
With an estimated 5,000 attendees, the conference and career expo, themed, “Think Ahead, Move Forward,” will be the largest gathering of Hispanic MBAs in the country.
“We are proud to partner with Target to sponsor such an outstanding conference,” said Leanne Wirkkula, assistant dean for Strategic and Academic Initiatives at the Carlson School. “This nationally recognized event brings together students, professionals and corporations from around the country in a tremendous learning, networking and career-building experience. Minnesota, home to so many leading companies, is an ideal location for this event, and we are delighted to help host the conference.”
“Bringing NSHMBA to Minneapolis provides an exceptional opportunity for our students,” said Brent Opall, director of Student Diversity Initiatives at the Carlson School. “While attending, students are able to network for jobs, reconnect with alumni, and meet face to face with people and organizations that are not often in the Twin Cities area. The conference also helps to provide our students a greater understanding of diversity in the workplace. The Carlson School is very proud to have a strong contingent of students attending and volunteering at this event.”
Available to students and professionals, the NSHMBA conference and career expo will feature three days of speaking events and forums, interview clinics, career management assistance and company information systems among its many events and opportunities.
