MPI MN Student Road Show
Meeting Professionals International Student Road Show promotes Student Involvement and Education
Wednesday, January 27, 2010
The Minnesota chapter of Meeting Professionals International (MPI MN) is pleased to announce the Student Road Show, an initiative to fuel student interest in professional association involvement. This event will take place at St. Cloud State University on January 27, 2010 from 12:30pm – 2:00pm in the Atwood Glacier North room in St. Cloud, MN.
Students from St. Cloud State University and area schools have been invited to attend the Student Road Show along with industry professionals. As students are preparing for their careers, it is important to have the support of peers and future colleagues.
Through a grant received from MPI headquarters, and sponsorship through the St. Cloud Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and Media Productions, the Student Road Show is able to provide outreach for students wanting to pursue opportunities in the hospitality industry and promote the value of professional association membership. A panel of industry professionals from the community will share the importance of having an MPI membership that connects members locally and to worldwide support, industry knowledge, and business opportunities.
Networking opportunities along with snacks and prizes will be given away.
