Calling all natural resources, biology, chemistry, sustainable agriculture, climate science, geoscience, water science, and STEM students and alumni! The Offices of Career Services and Alumni Relations have teamed up to coordinate career-focused discussions with our remarkable alumni. This month we are featuring natural resources and sciences alumni with a wealth of experience in their field.
These alumni have walked in your shoes and are eager to tell you where their Northland degree got them (including all the jobs, internships, and other experiences that lead them there). They’ll discuss what a typical day in their position is like, professional and career choices they’ve made (good and bad), and give you pointers for standing out in a sea of applicants when you’re ready.
Attendees will be provided time to ask questions and receive panelist contact information following the event to continue networking.
Your attendance will also ensure you’re added to the monthly Career Services swag bag drawing!
