Thunderbird Career Weekend – August 25-26, 2017
The Career Management Center has redesigned its student career readiness strategy, including curriculum, timing and pedagogy to increase student competitiveness prior to the crucial fall recruiting timeline. We are planning a series of summer learning experiences to engage and prepare students for Fall 2017 recruiting events. A large part of this preparation is 2-two-day, rigorous training experience, designed to ensure students will be prepared to compete BEFORE their first on-campus recruiting event or national career fair. So, we would appreciate your assistance to successfully execute this event! We are inviting any and all alumni to volunteer for one or more of the following engagement opportunities.
