it is a way to be in the work environment, learn from managers, and network. This
event was established to give our students the opportunity to get a feel of the workforce.

Employer Panel
April 15, 2021 3 PM - 4:30 PM
This event strives to connect employers with students and allow the students to ask
employers questions to better understand how to prepare for interviews, how to enter
the workforce, or information about the company in general. We hope that the employers
and students are very diversified. This will result in a variety of answers and questions.
The students can get a closer look at different employers and what they require, and
the employers will be able to connect with students and give insightful feedback about
their careers.
*Students are required to apply via Handshake.
