Between 5-7 pm, there will be panels where students will have direct access to alumni, from multiple disciplines, sharing their insights about their work, the industry in general, their career path, UConn major and preparation, and more.
‘Green Careers: Engage and Explore’ is your opportunity to see if working in this field is right for you. Designed for all students, undergraduate and graduate, freshman through senior, this event will have something for you. Students can come and go throughout the four-hour period.
