About the Event


Instructions for Industry Participants

Networking will be facilitated through the Zoom Breakout feature.

Students will have the chance to meet with industry participants in a variety of specialties and ask them questions about work and lifestyle choices to gain a deeper understanding of what opportunities are available and to cover topics important to them. The event is organized similar to a “speed-networking” session, where students rotate from room to room in a virtual setting.

Full instructions will be given to industry members along with the webinar login a few days prior to the event.
