Last week, October 19-23, I was able to see two amazing speakers for Mas Communication Week, at Texas State University. I chose to see Chris Perez and Ana Toro. Both worked in very different parts of Mass Communication, but both had similar positive messages.

I first saw Chris Perez on Monday October 19. The CEO of Left/Right Media presented “Entrepreneurial thinking: Why millennials will change the world.” In this presentation he talked about habits you need to unlock your career and change the world. This former IBM engineer, made entrepreneur, has first hand experience in starting his own company. My favorite part of his presentation was when he spoke on the importance of networking.

My second Mass Comm panelist to see was Ana Toro. Ana came to the United States from Puerto Rico in 2002. She specializes in the U.S. Hispanic market. She has a lifetime of experience: working campaigns for Budweiser, CDC-Flu Season, Royal Caribbean, National Diabetes Education Program, National Eye Health Education Program and ICF- International. In her presentation she expressed the importance of marketing to specific groups in a campaign. My favorite part of her presentation is when she talked about the importance of recognizing different culturesScreen Shot 2015-10-26 at 5.10.11 PM.
