CMNSU & Friends is a podcast hosted by members of the Communication Student Union here at Simon Fraser University.

CMNSU is known for our annual networking event called Careers in Communication. COVID-19 has thrown quite a few curveballs in peoples plans, but we wanted to make sure that you don’t miss out on the opportunities that we would typically offer at the in-person event.

So, for this year's Careers In Communication, we have taken the wisdom and knowledge aspect of the networking event and decided to throw it in a podcast—taking it virtual. So, for the month of March, members of CMNSU will be sitting down with Communication professionals to grill them and get all the professional tips and tricks that you would at our normally in-person networking event.
