Event planning demands a high level of organizational skill, no matter the size of the event. The ability to juggle all of the details involved with an event, communicate those details to staff and constituents, and lead a team in executing an event, is crucial. Thankfully, these are skills imparted by a liberal arts education.

Christendom alumni learn event skills not just in the college’s education but also in its extracurricular offerings. Many students join the Student Activities Council, running events of varying sizes before even leaving college. Equipped with this practical knowledge along with the soft skills that come from a liberal arts education, they have gone on to open their own event companies, catering businesses, and more.

At Christendom’s Life on Tap alumni networking series, successful event planners have returned to campus to speak on how they used their liberal arts education and the career preparation they received at Christendom to find post-graduate success.
