Life After ArtSci is an alumni networking summit that facilitates the opportunity for students to engage with successful Arts and Science alumni from diverse sectors. This summit is generously supported by Richard Rooney and Laura Dinner, and is a joint effort between the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society, the Faculty of Arts and Science, and the Dean’s Advisory Council. Attendees will hear from leaders in emerging industries, all of whom graduated from Queen’s Arts and Science. From the medical cannabis industry, to international consulting, to philanthropy, Life After ArtSci will attempt to showcase the wide variety of careers and pathways available to Arts and Science students.  The day will attempt to challenge the question: “What can you do with an Arts and Science degree?” and will prove that any profession is possible. Don't miss out on this great opportunity.
