In a two-part presentation given by UMPI\u2019s business club, attendees were given some helpful advice. Jessica Cameron, along with Elizabeth Butterfield, covered the first half titled \u201cIf the club fits.\u201d Lauren Chapman and Madison Shaw concluded with their section titled \u201cWear It.\u201d The four seniors, who are marching in May, were mentored by Stacey Emery.<\/p>\n

Cameron, who is the current club president, started the presentation by sharing the importance of joining a club. The first important piece she discussed was listening. \u201cOne of the major components that a club taught me was to listen,\u201d Cameron said. \u201cSometimes I don\u2019t like group projects because it\u2019s a lot of input and I like to take control. Becoming the UMPI business club president, I learned to listen to others\u2019 input and to put it to use.\u201d The pair went on to discuss the benefits of extracurriculars. They also shared how universities encourage them as a way to keep students on campus.<\/p>\n

UMPI\u2019s long list of clubs provides students with an array of leadership roles. Clubs are what this group considers to be a major resume booster. \u201cEmployers look for what you\u2019re involved in,\u201d Butterfield said. \u201cYour resume is a very important part of getting a job. They look at if you\u2019re dedicated to things and what you\u2019re doing. A club is very important to them.\u201d Cameron pointed out that there is a 53 percent higher chance of job opportunity for prospective employees who can list collegiate extracurriculars. The second half, presented by Chapman and Shaw, further highlighted benefits of joining a club. These included networking and campus involvement opportunities to teamwork and responsibility.<\/p>\n

The business club meets every Thursday at 1 p.m. in the Owl\u2019s Nest. Anyone who is interested in joining is welcome to attend a meeting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
