Podcast Episode 8: The Black Greek Success Program with Eddie Francis

January 20, 2013 by Garrick Gibson

HBCU Lifestyle Podcast 8: The Black Greek Success Program with Eddie Francis
Welcome to episode 8 of the HBCU Lifestyle podcast. In this episode’s college quick tips section I share 10 Ways to Maximize Your Internship Experience. Followed by our featured guest Eddie Francis. Eddie is a speaker, public speaking coach and public relations/marketing professional. He is the author and presenter of the Black Greek Success Program, which is designed to give college students in the Black Greek System a map for career success using their unique skills as members of fraternities and sororities. Eddie uses his experience as a former employee of Monster.com, his leadership experience as a Black Greek, and his knowledge of public relations and marketing to help collegiate Greeks understand how to position themselves for prime career opportunities. His entertaining delivery is backed by a public speaking career that began in 1987, a radio career, and even a stint as a stand-up comedian. Eddie resides in Dallas, Texas where he serves as the Director of Communications at Paul Quinn College.
