On Wednesday, October 15th, the Honors Business Association hosted its annual company dinner at the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center. With approximately 150 guests spread over 21 tables, this year’s dinner was the largest in the organization’s history.
This networking event allowed BHP students—regardless of major or classification—to interact with representatives from 13 different companies spanning a wide variety of industries:
- Dell
- PepsiCo
- BP
- Accenture
- PwC
- ConocoPhillips
- Deloitte
- Adlucent
- Dropbox
- Capital One
- Sense Corp
- Goldman Sachs
- Southwest Airlines
After a brief networking session, the guests settled in to enjoy a delicious three-course meal. Each table had one or two company representatives and a handful of students. Over the course of the dinner, students gained valuable insights about recruiting and post-collegiate life as representatives fielded questions about their career paths and their experiences at their respective companies. At the end of the dinner, students and representatives continued to chat and network with each other.
As always, the company dinner proved to be a roaring success. It certainly lived up to its reputation as one of the most popular events of the year!
