Who Should Attend?
Undergraduates and graduate students in all years are strongly encouraged to attend.* Recent alumni may also find Career Week helpful. Participants attend Career Week for different reasons. Some simply want to know the options available to them after graduation; some want to hear the stories of challenges and triumphs; others want to network their way to a job.
What will it cost?
Thanks to our sponsors, Career Week events are free to all who register.
*Exception: Wine Tasting & Etiquette Dinner. This program is open to seniors only. Fee is $25.00. You may use your food points, flex cash, or check to make your purchase. Please note that this is a significantly reduced fee, thanks to the donations of our sponsors.
How do I Register?
Registration will begin Monday, January 3, 2005. Your confirmation e-mail will give you the opportunity to change, cancel, or add to your registration. Due to extraordinary student response last year, we want to emphasize the importance of updating your registration if your plans change. It is likely another student will fill your spot.
