CAREER CONNECTIONS SPEAKER SERIES
|
|
The Alumnae Office is proud to announce we will be launching Career Connections, a speaker series for current Mercy students. The goal is to have a group of students hear from alumnae about their work, how they chose their career path, and advice they would give students interested in their respective field.
Would you be interested in participating as a speaker? We are currently welcoming visitors to Mercy, yet also have the technological capability to host you virtually. The hope is to hold these sessions during the school day to reach students during their unscheduled time. There is some flexibility with days and times, so we are happy to work with your schedule and availability.
Email Dr. Alison Kline-Kator '97 at akline-kator@mhsmi.org if you're interested in being a Career Connections speaker.
