Time: 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
Event Host: ASC Career Success
The Center for Career and Professional Success is hosting, Life Beyond Degree: Computer and Information Science; an event where you will have the opportunity to interact virtually with alumni who’ve been in your shoes, and who are eager to connect with you!
Zoom’s breakout rooms will be used to facilitate meaningful connections in a small and informal “speed networking” style format. Virtual "speed networking" rounds will provide you with a great opportunity to chat one on one or in small groups with alumni to gain insight about career paths and gather how they transformed their degree into a career. The event will conclude with all returning to the main Zoom room for a quick wrap up, and where any lingering questions for the alumni can be addressed.
Alumni panelists include:
