2/18/2013 Unknown 0 Comments

On January 23, 2013, The City College of New York new Master's program in Branding + Integrated Communications was launched with a Curriculum Summit that was attended by over 70 guests from Manhattan advertising, branding, digital, PR, and research firms along with academics.

It wasn't just great to see new faces and good friends, but to hear the buzz of exciting ideas. After getting caffeinated and hearing a brief presentation on the BIC launch, working groups got together in ten tables of six to explore the big challenges facing the communications industry today and what types of leaders will shape the future.
