Dr. Esther Mead, an assistant professor at Southern Arkansas University, is providing students with valuable insights into the computer and information systems industry through a series of guest speakers in her Information Technology Seminar course. The speakers, who are professionals in the field, record short videos for the class sharing their experiences, advice, and tips for landing a job after graduation. The lineup of speakers this semester includes professionals from companies like McKesson, Eaton, and J.P. Morgan.
Mead has enlisted speakers from her network, including former coworkers, students, and classmates, who are eager to help students by sharing their knowledge and expertise. The speakers also provide their contact information, giving students the opportunity to reach out for career advice.
The students appreciate the opportunity to interact with industry professionals and gain valuable insights that they wouldn’t have access to otherwise. At the end of the semester, students reflect on their experiences and write about what they’ve learned from the speakers.
