Agency M – 1 IS a digital consultancy conceptualized, created, and led by emerging professionals at the Mike Ilitch School of Business (MISB) as the result of a generous grant from HubSpot. At this career fair, marketing and ISM students alike are invited to recruit with keyindustry employers. (Students from outside of WSU are invited to attend this event).Virtual career fairs are online 'events' that allow employers and students to meet in virtual environments such as through voice calls orvideo chat rooms. We will be using Handshake for the virtual fair. This is a great opportunity for students
to introduce themselves professionally and learn more about business. To have a successful networking experience,
