Weinberg College Career Summit 2022
Fifth Annual Weinberg College Career Summit
Generously sponsored by the Austin J. Waldron Student-Alumni Connections Program
This year, the annual Career Summit will be held on Wednesday June 1st with virtual sessions hosted between 9:30 and 4 p.m. CT. We will feature 4 sessions with 2 different alumni panel options in each.
Students can select to hear from alumni in the following industries:
- 9:30-10:45 - Healthcare OR Nonprofits
- 11:00-12:15 - Arts & Media OR Consulting
- 12:15-1:15 - Lunch Break
- 1:15-2:30 - Politics & Policy OR Startups & Entrepreneurship
- 2:45-4:00 - Research & Education OR Communications & Marketing
Students should feel free to attend as many or as few sessions as it makes sense for them. Each session will include an alumni panel, time for student questions, then small group networking where students can introduce themselves to the alumni speakers and ask any follow-up questions they may have.
We will also be sharing a short 15-20 minute prep podcast with students that will be hosted by NCA to share additional resources with students as they prepare for conversations with alumni at the Career Summit.
This event is perfect for all class years:
- Freshmen who are just getting their feet wet on campus and want to make sense of all the various post-grad options they keep hearing about.
- Sophomores who are more familiar with the recruiting timeline but are still considering a few different options for themselves.
- Juniors who are entering their last summer before graduation and might want to hear how alumni used their summer experiences to figure out what they might want to do.
- Seniors who are graduating, whether they have a job lined up or are still looking for a good fit, and might want to hear from alumni in the particular industry they are heading into to continue to build their network.
Whether you fit a description above or not, this is a great event for you to hear from a ton of different alumni, doing different things, in different industries.
Whether you want to network and ask specific questions or just login to hear what the alumni have to say, this is a great opportunity close out the spring quarter with inspiration and advice from grads who were once in your shoes.
