During this event, students will be able to engage in a moderated discussion with Jenna Marbles and learn about how she turned her social media platforms into a career.
“I'm really excited to have the opportunity to bring one of the most famous female YouTubers on the internet to our campus. Jenna is going to bring many engaging insights on building a brand and a career through social media,” said Siera Arena, director of Pop Culture. “She also sets an amazing example for how you can be successful in nontraditional career paths after leaving higher education.
