Friday, March 3rd in CUPPA Lower Level
This professional development event grants students the ability to learn from and connect directly with those in the area(s) of the field they wish to pursue post-graduation. Throughout the day, we will be hosting various topic-based panels with participation from external organizations, faculty, and alumni/professionals worldwide. There will also be a chance for students to have their cover letter and resume reviewed by alumni.
Opportunities for reviews are on a first-come, first-serve basis and are limited based on the capacity of our alumni volunteers. If you are unable to secure a review or wish to coordinate something beyond, please reach out to your respective Academic Advisor for more information on how to do so.
