Hosted by the GW Career Center in partnership with the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, the Office of Community Service/Student Activities Center, and the Human Services Program.

FOR UNDERGRADUATES ONLY. In networking, timing is critical--it's not just about finding the right opportunity to discuss your skills, but being able to interest someone else in your experience and capabilities in a short amount of time. At the beginning of this event, undergraduate students are given a primer on networking, and receive personal business cards. The students and alumni are then brought together where students have three minutes to engage in a conversation with a GW graduate. Then, students rotate on to a new conversation with another alumnus/a, and so on. The event concludes with a reception for students and alumni to reconnect, and for alumni to provide feedback on students’ networking skills. Business attire required. RSVP REQUIRED: Register through the GWork calendar. Cosponsored with GW Alumni Association.

Each Wednesday, from 7-9pm, throughout the semester, a Career Center representative will be on hand in a different House to provide information and advice about Career Center programs and services that can assist residents with their career development and job-search needs.
