Matthew Gencarella, also known as Sarge, will speak on nonverbal communication within the professional context on Tuesday (04/11) from 2:10 pm in BMC 119.
As an army veteran turned CEO, Gencarella knows a thing or two about how to present oneself professionally and how to read other’s nonverbal behavior.
Students thoroughly enjoyed his previous talk and found it to be both valuable and applicable. This talk will be no exception. We hope to see you at the event!
Theatre students, Camille Beeson (Right), Joshua Griffith (Middle), and Anthony Reynafarje (Left), gave a voice to the radio scripts that Caroline Wong’s Media & Scriptwriting class wrote.
The video clip showcases a Q&A after the script readings. We loved teaming up with the theatre department, and hope to continue this symbiotic relationship moving forward!
