Career Day 2016

The School and the Alumni Association, led by Career Day Chair, Sarah Taylor ’10, continued the tradition of bringing alumni “back to school” to offer the classes of 2016 and 2017 valuable insight into college experiences and career paths of alumni.

Students joined Monica Boss ’91 and Erin Reedy P’22, ’23, ’25 for the “Super Session” titled Combining Passion and Practicality for Career Success, which was about exploring one’s passion when looking for a job, trends in the job hunting world, how to navigate the employment process, and the importance of the HR function in leveraging talent.
