Confused about MAJORS and CAREERS? Please join us at…
UB MAJORS & CAREERS NIGHT
Date: Tuesday, October 28, 2008
Time: 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Location: Student Union Lobby & Social Hall
FREE PIZZA & a chance to win GREAT PRIZES!
ADVISORS FROM UB DEPARTMENTS will be available to meet with you to discuss majors and minors! Spring 2009 course registration is right around the corner! Are you ready? Get your questions answered!
KEEP THESE THINGS IN MIND THE NIGHT OF THE EVENT!
- Think broadly about majors as many majors relate to numerous career fields and prepare students for similar work environments and graduate programs.
- Think broadly about career and industries. Many of the alumni/mentors have experience in more than one career field or industry so be sure to spend some time in more than one area of the room.
- Collect any handouts, business cards or other materials as you speak with departments and alumni/mentors. This way, you can follow up with them later when you have any additional questions.
WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE! No pre-registration is necessary, just come on over to the Union on Tuesday evening!
The UB MAJORS AND CAREERS NIGHT is brought to you by Student Advising Services, Career Services, and the UB Alumni Association.
