MISSION STATEMENT

B2 will provide opportunities for members and industry leaders to share knowledge on the latest technology trends and innovations in the business world, enhance the quantity and quality of networking and recruiting opportunities with companies in related industries, and strengthen Fordham’s associations with technology-dependent industries. B2 will achieve its goals and build value by providing:

  • Educational opportunities for technology and new media
  • Networking opportunities with fellow students, alumni and industry leaders
  • Outlets for practical, hands-on experience in technology-related firms

EDUCATION

B2 intends to organize seminars, panel discussions and presentations featuring industry leaders, sharing their knowledge and perspective on topics about technology and new media applications in Information Systems, mass media, management systems, marketing, finance and accounting. Members will have a forum to collaborate with professionals in their current and/or prospective industry.

B2 will also set out to raise awareness of technology and its applications on campus by partnering with related student clubs and collaborating with Fordham IT.

NETWORKING

Members of B2 will have several opportunities to network with alumni and industry leaders. The seminars, panels and presentations organized by B2 as well as collaboration with other related clubs at Fordham will expose students to important professionals in technology-related industries and enhance B2’s community of students and professionals. B2 intends to foster participation from students interested in such industries and encourages its members to share their experiences and contacts. In addition, B2 would like to extend an open invitation to any members of the former Information Systems Club at Fordham GBA to share ideas and collaborate with B2. B2 identifies itself most closely with the Information Systems Club and welcomes any and all advice its members are willing to contribute.

HANDS ON

B2 will also focus on providing its members with practical experience in tech-related industries. B2 will work closely with Career Management to enhance the quality and quantity of tech and new media companies recruiting on campus. B2 would like to position itself as a prime recruiting source for top technology-related firms. B2 also hopes to secure invitations for its members to visit and tour technology and new media related companies in Manhattan and, in the years to come, Silicon Valley in California.
