PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Workshops
The Galante Program hosts workshopping events as part of the 3-4 planned professional development events each semester. The purpose of these events is to introduce new concepts to students and encourage their practice for real-world business and leadership setting use. Examples of workshopping event topics include effective communication development, digital marketing and social media analytics simulations, business proposal competitions, speed networking and interview skill development, and more.
FORMAL EVENTS
Kick-off Meetings & Banquets
Kick-off meetings are hosted at the beginning of each semester. The purpose of these events is to provide an overview of the program’s recent successes and events from the previous semester, as well as to outline events and plans for the current semester. Galante Fellows in leadership roles are encouraged to share their professional development initiatives with other members of the program. Occasionally these events may also occur in conjunction with a Galante Banquet which is a formal event featuring program founder Ed Galante, members of the INC Advisory Board, and Galante alumni in addition to active program students.
ACADEMIC
Graduation
Each Spring the Galante Program celebrates graduating seniors with a formal ceremony. This event serves as an opportunity to recognize the efforts of our seniors and their initiatives and participation in their time as an active Galante Fellow. Awards are also presented to recipients who are selected by a vote conducted by their peers.
