In The Loop with the Alumni Council:
Considering Your Options as a Career Changer

May 16, 2024 |  7-8:30 p.m. on Zoom

Considering a career change is a big decision, and for some, it may be overwhelming or anxiety-inducing. What are my options and where do I begin? What time commitment and financial resources will be necessary? These questions are completely natural.  

This session, hosted by Alumni Council member Wesley Thorne ’96, will explore the common reasons and motivations for making a career change. It will also present practical ways of considering your options, along with manageable actions you can take to pursue the career that best fits you. Alumni who have made a career transition will discuss how they navigated their options and pursued a new career path.
