Join us at the Collin College Conference Center for the annual Interdisciplinary Study and Mentorship (ISM) Business Symposium!

This annual event brings together business professionals and ISM juniors and seniors from McKinney High School and McKinney Boyd High School. Students participate in mock interviews with professionals in their target fields to gain real-world experience, refine their communication skills, and receive constructive feedback on their interview techniques and resumes.

Please share with coworkers or friends as we have a large enrollment of ISM students and would love to have a professional to pair with each student.
