Our most recent batch of alumni graduated just over a month ago, and we’re so proud of them! To celebrate their achievements, we compiled a Virtual Yearbook, so take a look and get to know the Class of 2020!
This first ever Earth and Sustainability Career Fair is the perfect opportunity for EnviSci students to connect with a tailored group of nearly 20 employers involved in sustainability and environmental conservation work. All EnviSci students are welcome, whether you’re a senior looking for a job post-graduation, or a freshman looking for a summer internship. The fair will be held on March 9 from 11:00am to 1:00pm in the Old Chapel.
And don’t forget to prepare by attending the EnviSci career fair and resume workshop on February 26 from 5:30pm to 6:45pm in Holdsworth 308, and the CNS career fair and resume workshops on March 3 and 4 from 5:30pm to 6:30pm in Design Building 162.
If you are a graduating senior and you want to be a speaker (aka a chirper) for the EnviSci Major at the CNS Celebration Event on May 9th, click here to apply. Speeches are very short (limited to ~140 words), and a draft should be included in your application. To see a video of last year’s event and to find out what a chirper’s speech is like, click this link and scroll to the bottom of the page. Best of luck to those who apply!
With career fair season in full swing, now is the time to make sure you’re ready with a polished resume, a professional headshot for Handshake and LinkedIn, and with the knowledge to get the most out of any career fair.
Stop into Holdsworth 308 at 5:45pm (or 5:30 for free pizza and drinks) on February 26 with any questions and we will be happy to help you!
RSVP for your spot to hear from a panel of alumni from the MS in Sustainability Science Program (MS3). Just like the Environmental Science Program, MS3 focuses on interdisciplinary learning to prepare students for careers in a number of sustainability-focused fields. This event is a great resource to expose EnviSci students to some of the many paths to take post-graduation. Hope to see you there!
Get yourself ready for career fair season by registering for the CNS Career Fair Prep Workshop this Wednesday (2/12) at 5:30 in the Design Building. And no student is prepared for a career fair without a polished resume to hand out, so make sure to also attend the CNS Resume Writing Workshop this Thursday (2/13) at 5:30 in the ILC. To register, log on to your Handshake account, and look under the events page.
The CNS Career Center is an invaluable resource to have at your fingertips, so take advantage of it now. Once you graduate, resume help and career counseling can be super expensive!
