Workshops for Undergraduate and Graduate Students

  • "How’s That Working for You?" Repurposing Your Habits for Today’s Work Climate – 2 to 2:50 p.m.
    • We’ve all been told to "work smarter, not harder," yet most of us are still caught in a cycle of reactive firefighting and digital exhaustion. In today’s "always-on" work climate, the habits that once led to success are now leading to burnout. In this session, we’ll dive into four proven practices to repurpose your routines--creating more margin and reclaiming your focus.

Workshops for Undergraduate Students

  • From College to Career: Navigating Your First 90 Days – 12 to 12:50 p.m.
    • Transitioning from campus to the office requires shifting from a syllabus mindset to mastering professional nuance. This session provides a roadmap for your first three months, focusing on the "unwritten rules" of success. You’ll learn to master workplace etiquette, communicate effectively with supervisors, and manage a dynamic workload. By decoding your new office culture, you will move quickly from "the new hire" to a confident, high-impact contributor.
  • Life After College: Smart Choices for a Strong Launch – 1 to 1:50 p.m.
    • Transitioning from college to your first career is a massive milestone, but it also brings a completely new set of financial decisions. Forget the doom-and-gloom lectures—this empowering workshop provides the exact playbook you need to build financial momentum in your first 90 days post-grad. We’ll cut through the stress and show you how to navigate your first job offer, outsmart the student loan "interest sneak attack," and tackle the real costs of relocating and setting up benefits. You will walk away with a customized, 7-day action plan so you can confidently take control of your money and launch strong!

Graduate Workshops

  • Professional Branding – 3 to 3:50 p.m.
    • In this interactive session, you will learn key strategies to build and refine your personal brand, enhancing your professional presence both online and in-person. We’ll explore effective communication techniques, from networking to interviews, that will help you confidently articulate your strengths and goals. Whether you’re preparing for the next step in your academic journey or transitioning into the workforce, this workshop is a must for anyone looking to develop impactful personal branding and communication skills that can open doors to new opportunities.
  •  Skills That Shine: Translating Your Talents for Diverse Careers – 4 to 4:50 p.m.
    • In a rapidly evolving job market, knowing how to recognize and communicate your transferable skills is key to staying competitive. Skills That Shine: Translating Your Talents for Diverse Careers will help graduate students reflect on their academic, professional, and personal experiences to uncover strengths that apply across industries. Learn how to frame your skills in resumes, interviews, and networking conversations to stand out to employers in a variety of fields.
