Alumni Webinar: Graduated…Now What? A Real-World Plan for Your Career | Wednesday, August 26, 2026 | 12:00-1:00 PM ET| Online

Graduating with a degree and no clear plan? You’re not alone. This session is for young alumni who don’t know what to do with their major, feel the pressure of competing in an AI-driven job market, and want a real strategy for standing out. We’ll cover how to make sense of your degree, identify the skills you already have, and what actually works when it comes to networking and applying.

You’ll leave with a simple framework for exploring your options and concrete next steps you can take this week.
