Students looking for networking opportunities can attend the fourth annual “Networking with Nonprofits” event on Monday hosted by the Department of Society, Culture, Crime, and Justice Studies, the Department of Social Work and the Nonprofit Administration program.
The event offers connections with over 20 local nonprofit organizations, which will allow students to have one-on-one conversations with agencies whose missions include a variety of social issues, according to an email sent by Holli Drummond, department chair of society, culture, crime and justice studies, on Wednesday, Sept 11.
“We hope students of disciplines across WKU will walk away with an understanding of the diversity of nonprofits in our community serving social and human needs, as well as how they may join with them through volunteer experiences, educational internships, and employment opportunities,” Drummond said in the email.
The nonprofit organizations to be present at the event are as follows:
