Conference to Highlight Internet Careers for Liberal Arts Majors Careers in new media are not just for computer majors, according to more than 30 industry leaders — most of whom are also graduates of Columbia — who will discuss their experiences in the field at Columbia's Internet Media Careers Conference, Thurs., Feb. 12, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM and Fri., Feb. 13, from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. The conference will address the relevancy of a liberal arts education, such as Columbia's Core Curriculum, to careers in new media. Also discussed will be the growing number of opportunities for students graduating with technical skills. The conference is organized by Cate Brown and Tawana Murphy of the Center for Career Services (CCS). Conference participants will include major publishing executives, such as Alan Meckler (CC’67, GSAS), President and CEO of Mecklermedia; entrepreneurs in start-up companies such as Dave Kansas (CC'90) of TheStreet.com; and editors and marketing specialists in established companies with new media divisions, like The New York Times "Cybertimes". Some of the companies represented, for instance Adam Trachtenberg's (CC '97) Student.Com, were started while their founders were students. Other sessions will explore Internet careers in law and not-for-profits. The conference will also showcase the centers of innovation in new media at Columbia, including the Media Center for Art History, the New Media Center and the Digital Design Lab at the School of Architecture. In addition to the information sessions, some new media companies will come prepared to recruit future employees for full-time and internship opportunities; there will also be time for industry veterans to review student web proposals. The final session of the conference will focus on how to use the Internet for a job search by assembling a Web "career portfolio" including writing samples. For more information call 854-5484 or consult the conference web site at http://www.columbia.edu/ cu/ccs/icc. The conference is one of a series of career development events planned by CCS to educate students about new technologies. Under the leadership of Executive Director, Eileen Kohan, CCS delivers innovative web-based career services to students, including a completely electronic recruiting system. The Center works with 12,000 undergraduates, graduate students and alumni annually and is located on the Columbia campus in the lower level of East Campus.
