Sharing Experiences at the Peer Networking Night

Environmental Science students got to hear from seven of their upperclassmen peers about the research, internship, and volunteer experiences they’ve participated in during their time at UMass. With a round-robin style set-up, every student in attendance got a chance to discuss these experiences in small groups. Not only was this event a helpful way to share information, but it was also great practice for participating in networking events!

Keep an eye on the blog and your email for information about future networking events!
