Register for Alumni Executive Council Career Conversations!
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with AEC members!
There are some opportunities that pop up on campus that you don’t want to miss. One of those opportunities is coming up in two weeks, and you only have until Wednesday, September 27, to raise your hand and say you want in!
Twenty-five members of the St. Lawrence University Alumni Executive Council will be holding career conversations with interested students here on campus on Friday, October 6, from 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Don’t miss your chance to meet 1-on-1 or in a small group with alumni in a variety of industries for conversations about their career journeys! Through these conversations with some of our most engaged and accomplished alumni, you can learn about industries, jobs, internships, graduate school and get tips on interviewing and networking.
Students can sign up for one or two 30-minute conversations, and will have the opportunity to select their top five preferences from the list of alumni below. We’ll match you with the alumni and tell you when and where to meet!
