Before you graduate as a Corporate Communication major, you must attend five approved events.
(Note: This policy does not apply to students who began the major before Fall, 2000.) These have
to be completed by the time you apply for graduation. That is the first Friday of the semester in which
you plan to graduate. Failure to comply could (and has in the past) delay graduation and freeze your
transcript.
You may do all five in one semester or spread them out over your UB tenure; it's up to you.
Within one week of the event, write a paper that includes your name, the name and date of the
event, and a three-or-four sentence summary of your reaction to the event. It will be placed in your
file. Make sure you keep a copy. Do not e-mail this document, hand it to an instructor in the hall, or shove it
under an office door. Place it in Julie Simon's mailbox on the 2nd floor of Charles Royal (not the box outside
her office) to insure you get proper credit.
