Grit & Greatness

Career Month Workshop

Location

University Center : 310

Date & Time

April 11, 2019, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

Description

Listen to and engage with recent UMBC alums who successfully and creatively navigated through the process of choosing a major. Some of these alums were exploratory or "undecided" about their options when they began. Others made strategic transitions from their first majors into other programs that led them to graduation - great careers and post-graduate opportunities. Panel members will share their stories about qualities and philosophies that propelled them forward through grit to greatness!

Panelists Include:

Lauren Romano, '11, B.A. American Studies
Project Manager, Let's Move LLC

Connor Michel, '15, B.S. Information Systems
Software Engineer, PayPal

William Renderos, '13 B.A. Social Work, Sociology
Education Advocacy and Elections Specialist
CASA and CASA in Action

Jeffrey Carr, current UMBC Student, Economics
Accepted to M.A. program in Sport's Management at University of Michigan

Participants can anticipate learning about:
  • decision-making strategies regarding majors & minors
  • key resources that are "difference-makers" here at UMBC
  • career development tips & graduate school planning recommendations.
Moderated by Ken Baron, Assistant Vice-Provost for Academic Advising & Student Success.
