For this session, RSVP here: Speaker Series Upon your free RSVP, the zoom link will be provided and also emailed to you directly prior to the event. RSVP Today!
Since we have been unable to host our in-person alumni networking events, we wanted to create a way for students to connect with alumni and learn about the many job opportunities available for comm majors. Our alumni work in a variety of industries -- from media and PR to legal, real estate, entertainment, hospitality, sports, and more. We have programmed these sessions to be informal and interactive. The speaker will spend about 10-15 minutes sharing their career journey and discuss job opportunities in their industry. We will then open it up to a Q&A where you can ask your questions about career, networking, job opportunities, etc.
Also, we welcome feedback on future sessions you'd like to see as part of this series so bring your questions and ideas to the session!
Thanks and see you at the upcoming Virtual Career Sessions!
