Welcome to the Halifax Student Networking Café blog

Hi, my name is Alex Smith. I’m the Director of Communications and Outreach for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA) in Nova Scotia and Chair of the Halifax Student Networking Café Coordinating Committee.

You might be wondering what this is all about. It’s pretty simple. Communications professionals working in the federal public service are inviting you to a unique learning and networking activity.

The Halifax Student Networking Café will take place Friday, October 12th from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the Faculty Lounge and Auditorium A on the MSVU campus.

Come and meet experts working in areas of communications such as Issues Management, Community Relations, Media Monitoring, Science-Based Communications and Internal Communications.

More details will be available by the end of the month. We invite you to continue to visit this blog, which will be updated almost daily. You will read about BPR students who have worked with federal departments and agencies, students who have been bridged into the Government of Canada as well as from members of the federal communications community.

Two of your fellow students currently on co-op work terms, Evelyn Schlosser and Luke Gaulton, are working behind the scenes to help us make this networking café a success.

So sign up now and join us on October 12th. Please check in on the blog, or subscribe to read the latest posts from your fellow students and my colleagues.

Our guest blogger for September 18th is Benjamin Boudreau – stay tuned.
