The event aims to discuss these fields on how it transitioned from pre-normal to now normal, and its relevance to the industry to be explained by different guest speakers who are experts and professionals in the field.
Moreover, the caravan is open to the public to give a heads up and encourage the students to pursue careers in the field of Communication such as Public Relations, Advertising, Marketing Communication, and Journalism.
On the other hand, COMPACT will showcase different competitions with its theme “Buhay Estudyante ng DLSU-D in the New Normal,” through the use of various social media platforms to exhibit the power of new media that will be screened on Dec. 14, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm.
