Career Forum and More Planned
The Outreach Committee of the Alumni Association Board of Governors is organizing a Career Forum for current students Jan. 26, 2013. The forum will encourage students to begin exploring focused professional options early in their academic careers and will provide a way for students to network with alumni prior to a job search. We need alumni volunteers willing to network with students and to discuss their professional journeys. If interested, please contact Jennifer Green for more details or to register.
Exciting things are happening, so make sure we know how to reach you! Events will be held soon in Washington, D.C., Chicago and New York City, and we soon will be launching a new alumni online community. Visit our online update form to revise your contact information and to make sure you receive the latest news and invitations about HMC events happening in your area.
