Opening remarks. President of ASO Essay

Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen.First, let me warmly welcome you all to this meeting of the Associated Students Organization (ASO).I bank that my introductory remarks will help to give us all a sense of direction and a common purpose for our work within the guidelines set out in the ASO Charter of July 2005. Let me embark on by briefly revisiting last years ARO sponsored career day Over 7500 students attended550 businesses had booths15 distinguished speakers ( Steve Jobs, Colin Powell to name a few) All branches of go were represented45 business outgrowth services offering workshops on starting businessesThe responses last year were some of the largest we have ever seen even with this fragile economy.The goal for this year is to aid our students to get hired before they leave for the day. I would like us to focus on more career planners and workshops to help these students plan for their life long career.When our students graduate, they are competing with a high unemployment rate, thus making securing the job as well as keeping it difficult.Business development can aid our business majors with the consideration of starting their give business and being their own boss, not to mention maybe if they are successful, they can hire others within their communities that need employment.Our challenges are tough, tho I believe that we are successful if 80% of our graduates get hired as a solution of this career day, we have been a success.Thank You.
