Being the brightest in the class is not a guarantee to being hired. The odds are significant students will be interviewed and managed by diverse global citizens. Mix it Up is a highly participatory, hands-on experience facilitated by Fox students/HRM majors for and with their peers. Mix It Up Lunch Day@Fox offers just-in-time learning and skills required by culturally competent organizations before the critical first job interview.
