“The Career Services Center exists to help students prepare for the professional business world, through resume-critiquing, career workshops, interview preparation, and more,” says one of CSC’s social media marketing interns, Keri Betters. “One way to help the students in a fun and easy way was through a contest with a fun prize.” 

An elevator pitch is a quick introduction about what makes a person unique and marketable to a potential employer. Career Services often trains students on how to prepare the pitch before their fall and spring career fairs.

The concert, on Sept. 18, is hosted by SCPAB, a UD registered student organization. Tickets are available through the Bob Carpenter Sports/Convocation Center.
