Hmm, I hadn’t thought about making law part of the ethics course, but I like that. Currently it’s a required class for all students at the U of M, but – while I think it’s very important/worthwhile as a class, I was trying to come up with a way to pare down the list required of everyone to bare minimum or it gets so long fast. I got my PhD at Mizzou and one way we handled it there was to teach a little bit of law in the intro/survey course, and then law as a stand-alone course was also offered as a choice in the curriculum that many students took, but at least everybody got a little bit of it. But maybe combining with ethics might be the way to go. What’s legal and what’s right.

We cover job hunting in our PRSSA and SPJ chapter meetings, mostly, although I have spent a limited amount of time in a couple of senior classes on portfolios & interviewing. A dedicated workshop would be a great idea.

I am actually planning some kind of social media brownbag/seminar right now But while we maintain lots of listings and such, great idea for more concrete job preparation workshops.

I would also recommend a week-long seminar (or four consecutive Saturdays) on social media and another on graphic design, and I’d call these “boot camp.”
