We conversed with account executives, managers and student advisers from various college newspapers, as well as recruiters and trainers in the industry. CNBAM also gave us a fantastic opportunity to bond with each other. We had become a close-knit group of friends who are dedicated to keeping The Michigan Daily alive.
