Hey Everybody! Leslie here, to share with you what’s been going on with the Social Media Club. I am a student from the Center for Advanced Research and Technology (CART), a vocational learning facility focused on educating high school juniors and seniors from all school districts who aspire to achieve more than just the average education. I am in the Marketing and Advertising Lab where we participate in internships to further our learning and gain some experience in the professional work world.

I am interning with Fresno Pacific University and the Social Media Club where we are planning an event called “ The Future of Social Media and Education.” The event is all about promoting social media to educators and business men and women all around the city to show them how social media can change the way we learn and operate our businesses. The event will feature a couple of guest speakers, who have experienced social media in their profession, come and share with us and the community, their experience with social media and how it has benefitted them. Anybody is welcome to come and check it out at CART (Center for Advanced Research and Technology) on Shaw and Clovis Ave, right behind the Sierra Vista Mall, beginning at 6:30 p.m., ending at 8:30 p.m. We’ll be looking forward to seeing you all there!

Now, as for the internship, my four other group members and I are having loads of fun with helping out the Social Media Club. We are creating flyers, organizing the event, and learning about social media as we go along. In participating in this internship, we have all been working with social media and have actually been able to witness how beneficial social media can be.

Until next time everybody,

Leslie Chavarria
