 Under Construction: Building Your Future is a one-day career exploration and self-definition opportunity for current Dietrich College sophomores, juniors, and seniors to network with alumni, learn their stories, and begin to navigate career options, internships, undergraduate choices, and post-graduation opportunities. This year's event will be held on Saturday, February 21 from 12:30 p.m. - 5:30 p.m. in the Cohon University Center. Space is limited, so it is suggested that students register as soon as possible. Chloe Fraboni (DC'11), who will speak on the Editing & Publishing panel, said that, for students, connecting with alumni is an invaluable experience. "It allows students a glimpse into the future that different career paths offer and provides them with the limitless resources of a large professional network. Without the guidance of another CMU alum, there's no way I would have landed my first job in publishing," Fraboni said. Senior Juan Acosta, who attended last year's event, thinks that it is a terrific opportunity for students. "Under Construction is a terrific opportunity to not only learn about the amazing careers Dietrich alums have had, but also a great opportunity to connect with them to ask burning questions about what consulting is really like, for example," Acosta shared.
