REECAS MA Student Business Card Guide

The Ellison Center strongly urges REECAS MA students to make business cards shortly after their arrival at UW. Even if graduation may seem a long way away, it is important to have business cards while at the Jackson School for networking and to present a professional image. Business cards convey legitimacy and will help establish connections with others working in international affairs and other career fields.

As a REECAS MA student, you may make UW business cards. If you do so, please follow the below guideline so as to properly represent yourself and the REECAS program/Jackson School.
