We recently spoke with Megan, an online Event Planning student, who told us what it’s like completing the Event Planning program online and organizing She Shines: A Girls Night for Anova, a full in-person charity event supporting Anova, for her group’s capstone project 💖
From managing risks to creating meaningful experiences for guests, Megan shared how the skills she learned in the program helped bring this event to life.
Event Planning Co-Op (SEP) is a two-year diploma program at Fanshawe that prepares students for careers in event management, corporate and sports events, festivals, weddings, and non-profit events. Students learn how to plan, coordinate, market, and execute events from start to finish, gaining real-world experience through fundraising events, volunteer opportunities, and a live capstone event project.

The She Shines event is proof that online event planning students can still gain real-world event management experience 🎉
