Arnold DC has completed a hands-on learning partnership with Howard University. The partnership was established by members of Arnold’s A.M.E.N. group (Arnold Multicultural Employee Network), an internal committee dedicated to fostering a culture of support, inclusion, development and retention for employees of multicultural heritage. During the semester-long program, members of Arnold’s A.M.E.N. worked with the Capstone Communications class at Howard to participate in case brand team teaching. Students were tasked with managing a client and coming up with a PR or advertising campaign that would deliver results. (Photos: Arnold Multicultural Employee Network)
