The Presidents’ Roundtable is one of the best programs at the WCOB. It’s both a great reward and an incentive for being part of a leadership team. We are able to gain exclusive access to industry leaders, events, and professional development opportunities. Members are able to put their best foot forward and make the most of their time before heading into professional industries. What makes PRT even more worthwhile is getting to meet, network, and collaborate with all the other student leaders. This has been one of the most significant programs that Business Career Services offers.
