Applications now open for networking and career exploration in Beantown during Senior Week
After a one-year hiatus, the Center for Career Excellence is excited to be heading back to Boston for SLU Connect during Senior Week (May 12-16)!
This year’s program will feature two tracks, a cross-industry track and a science/research track. The cross-industry track will feature site visits and roundtables in business/finance, entrepreneurship, marketing and communications, while the science/research track will include industries such as healthcare, research and environment/sustainability.
Students will also have the opportunity to attend a networking event where they can meet dozens of Laurentians living and working in Boston!
SLU Connect offers students incredible opportunities to meet and talk to Laurentians in a variety of fields, building professional connections that can lead to internship and job opportunities. But don’t take our word for it! Here’s some feedback we got from the last cohort of students we brought to Boston in May 2023.
“I was able to meet so many amazing people. I learned how eager SLU alumni are to help. The alumni gave us so much good advice and insights. This program has helped me figure out what I need to do to land internship and job offers.”
“I thought this was a great event that was perfect for the end of the year. I really liked how we got exposure to so many different alumni working in a variety of scientific fields and also enjoyed that we had the freedom to explore Boston during the week.”
If you’re thinking about pursuing an internship or post-graduate opportunity in Boston, this is a program you won’t want to miss!
