Don’t miss our upcoming alumni panel, UHPers! On Wednesday February 24 at 5:30 PM ET, we’ll be hosting UHP alumni from a variety of different fields to discuss how they navigated transitioning from college into the workplace, and giving their advice to you on successfully navigating that process yourself. Seniors are especially encouraged to attend, but we think this will be helpful for all of you, no matter which year!
