A Message from the CMC

As spring officially begins this week, the CMC is excited about the warmer weather and the opportunities for growth in Mod IV. You will notice that much of our career-related events fall into 3 areas:

1. Virtual Career Fairs – Registration is now open for virtual career fairs that Owen and several peer business schools host for interested employers. Check the links (especially as the dates of fairs grow closer) to see which employers will be involved.

2. Skill Development – We are grateful to collaborate with partners across campus and beyond to help you prepare for your upcoming internships and full-time roles.

3. Cultivating Connections – Be sure to check out Pop-Over Events and check in with your Coach this Mod so we can continue to support you and advise you of resources you'll have even if you are graduating this Spring. 

Enjoy the first week of spring,

Career Management Center Team
