Chapman’s BridgeUSA Chapter
BridgeUSA is a student run, nonpartisan organization where students can engage with one another to better understand the various perspectives behind current social and political issues. The aim is to ensure that students graduate from the university equipped with the ability to constructively listen, dialogue, agree or disagree, and most importantly learn how to think critically about their own ideas and beliefs, as well as the viewpoints of others.
Hilary Smith '13
Assistant Manager, Indirect Procurement – Advertising and Promotion
The Estée Lauder Companies, Inc.
“My communication degree has been invaluable to my career. The harmony of a degree that ties together interpersonal relationships, corporate communication, and quantitative analysis has helped me develop into an extremely well-rounded professional. No matter what path you embark on, there will be some portion that will be dictated by your ability to work with numbers. Even if it’s basic budgeting or trend graphs, it will help you solve problems and be the person ahead of the curve. Corporate culture is so much about performance: how you appear in a conference room and how well you present your information. These are skills I wouldn’t have without the guidance of the School of Communication.”
