BASF partners with Career Services for new media center

The Southern University Career Services Center and BASF Corporation have partnered to bring SU students the BASF Media Center; a multi-purpose technology resource center. The project, budgeted at a total of 25,000 dollars, supports the idea that students placed in an environment with high expectations are more likely to excel academically and professionally.
The purpose of the BASF Corporation is to “Create chemistry for a sustainable future.” As the world’s leading producer a variety of chemicals, plastics, and performance products, crop protection products, along with oil and gas, their products contribute to conserving resources and improving quality of life worldwide.
The BASF Media Center, located in 2064 Harris Hall, offers new technology that will enhance current services offered for professional development. The remote-virtual interviewing equipment housed in the media center will allow employers to interview potential employees regardless of travel or time constraints. The center will also support and improve existing career development workshops, internship programs, leadership seminars, mock interviews, and group training sessions.
“We are excited about the new media center, which has the latest technology to prepare our students for the workforce,” said Director of Career Services Tamara Montgomery. “BASF is a wonderful partner, and they are definitely making a difference in the lives of our students. BASF is not just another company, we consider them to be part of the SU family.”
