About Megan Ruth Manning

I am a student at Southern Methodist University, majoring in Political Science and Corporate Communications & Public Affairs. With experience in cultivating employer partnerships, coordinating on-campus recruiting events, and facilitating job postings for students, I have developed strong skills in campus recruiting over the past few months.My strong communication and organizational skills have allowed me to foster effective relationships within my sorority as well as with employers seeking to recruit from our campus. These skills were further honed through my administrative roles in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc, where I manage record-keeping, correspondence and meeting minutes, and the SMU National Pan-Hellenic Council, where I ensure smooth operations.
