Student Organization Engagements
Clayton State University's College of Business transcended traditional boundaries by uniting Swifties, Supply Chain aficionados, and students from diverse backgrounds for its vibrant spring semester forum titled "Headline News: How is Your Brand, Business, and Education Impacted?" The event boasted compelling panel discussions and presentations on varied topics including "Swiftonomics: The Taylor Swift Effect," "Supply Chain in the Tech Industry," "Laker Pride," and the provocative "Is Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Dead?"
Dr. Carin Lightner-Laws, with the help of student event organizers Claribel Ross and Royal Brown, led this groundbreaking endeavor. Driven by a shared interest in news consumption patterns, the forum ignited insightful conversations among Lakers and potential students, reflecting the College of Business's commitment to a collaborative ethos.
