Life Beyond Degree – Political Science (Virtual)

****FYI This is a private event for Poli Sci majors only****

The Department of Political Science with the Center for Career and Professional Success are hosting, Life Beyond Degree: Political 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 dating” style format. Virtual "speed dating" 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 Guests:

• Autumn Glover, Government Affairs and Community Relations Consultant / President, PACT, Wexner Medical Center / Ohio State Office of Government Affairs
  Autumn Glover, is an urban planner passionate about the intersection of race, place and health. She has worked at Ohio State and Wexner Medical Center for more than ten years in progressive leadership roles including strategic planning, community and local government partnerships. In addition to a bachelor of arts degree in Political Science, she holds a Master of City and Regional Planning and Master of Public Policy and Management from The Ohio State University. Currently, she serves in a dual role with Wexner Medical Center and Partners Achieving Community Transformation (PACT). She leads multiple civic and community engagement projects for the medical center, including the development of a prevention focused healthy community center and an enterprise-wide health equity and anti-racism strategy. She is a founding staff member of PACT, currently serving as President of the nearly ten year old nonprofit “community quarterback.” PACT is a nonprofit focused on the disruption of intergenerational poverty and the creation of a mixed-income community through strategic program and project investments, with an emphasis on housing, education, economic impact and health. She is responsible for the design and implementation of PACT’s award-winning community engagement process and the development of the PACT Blueprint for Community Investment. This work resulted in more than $220 million dollars of program and capital investments including $30 million in HUD Choice Neighborhoods Planning and Implementation grants.

• Priya Jindal, founder of Nextpat
  Graduated from the Ohio State University in 2006 with B.A.s in Political Science and International Studies. Following that she volunteered in India for one year working on political party transparency and accountability. Upon returning to Ohio, Priya worked with the Ohio Legislative Service Commission while preparing for the LSAT. Ultimately, she followed a different path, pursuing an interest in international development with the Urban Institute in DC. However, upon working in the sector and contrasting it with her volunteer experience, she chose to pursue work with State Department instead. Priya has been with the government for about 10 years, but also recently started a private enterprise focused on supporting individuals returning to their passport country through a reorientation seminar, workshops, and coaching. Pursuing her passion part time while working full time and being recently married with plans to move back overseas has required good communication, clear goal setting, and acknowledgement of opportunity costs and priorities. Skills that have developed over time and continue to be critical in her life.
