Hello GeoTerps! I know it's early in the semester but it's never too early to start thinking about your post-graduate career! While we, unfortunately, will not be hosting a Geographical Sciences fair this year, there are lots of other great events available below!
CAREER & INTERNSHIP FAIR, Sept. 23, 24, & 25:
The annual Career and Internship Fair, hosted by the University Career Center, provides UMD students and alumni with an opportunity to meet with employers to discuss internship, full-time and part-time employment opportunities. Employers are looking forward to meeting undergraduate and graduate students!
BSOS CAREER CHATS: Explore career options over a casual chat with alumni/employers.
Spotlight: Caroline Bruchman, GEOG '17 | GIS Analyst at Mead & Hunt
Geographic Information System, October 14th @ 4 pm | Register
INTERN FOR A DAY:
Intern for a Day Lite will match UMD students with professionals working in a field of interest to conduct virtual informational interviews. "Hosts" can live and work anywhere nationally and internationally. This reimagined program takes the “cold calling” out of informational interviews and networking for students! Student registration: between October 5 - October 11.
