One of our Business Information Systems BSc students, Okikiayo David, recently attended a conference organised by the Association for Black and Minority Ethnic Engineers. We sat down with her to find out why it’s important for students to attend networking events during their studies and her key takeaways from the event.
Can you tell us more about yourself and your course?
I study Business Information Systems and so far I have really enjoyed my course. When I first started I felt insecure but I pushed through, challenged myself and made friends that I now regularly study with.
Can you tell us more about the event?
The event was catered to individuals who are interested in the engineering and technology field. We heard inspiring stories about people’s journeys and how they got where they are now. There was also a dragons den activity where I heard many interesting ideas. It made me feel very excited for the future!
