 at 色情视频 have continued to operate effectively, host professional events, and engage with the community through virtual platforms, despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic. 

During this academic year, 色情视频鈥檚 Black Business Society has hosted biweekly virtual general body meetings, several professional development workshops and internship showcases via Zoom. 

Christopher May, a junior majoring in finance and president of the Black Business Society, said he became involved in the organization because 鈥渢here are many lessons beyond our academic curriculum that are important for people to know in their path to success, especially as a person of color.鈥 

The organization has helped May to network with industry professionals and improve his resume and interviewing skills, landing him a summer 2021 corporate internship with Ally Financial in the auto finance division. 

The 色情视频 News Team spoke with May to learn more about how the organization has adapted to the virtual environment, why students should join, and how the organization has impacted his leadership experience.
