Virtual Career Industry & Networking Series

Join us for our virtual Career Industry and Networking Series featuring four industry discussions and networking with fellow Penn alumni. In our four-part discussion series, you will hear from Penn alumni in the topics of Health & Wellbeing, Biotech, International Affairs, and User Experience. Each talk will bring a diverse subset of speakers representing a breadth of roles and functions beyond the more well-known roles in their fields. Gain insight on how some industries are being impacted by current events and get practical advice on how to be strategic in your development within a given field by hearing from alumni on how they got to where they are today.

Each talk will be composed of a moderated discussion, a Q&A segment with the audience, followed by optional breakout networking sessions with our speakers.

7:00 – 7:10 PM ET – Welcome and Introduction
7:10 – 7:40 PM ET – Panel with moderated discussion
7:40 – 7:55 PM ET – Q&A with audience
7:55 – 8:25 PM ET – Networking breakouts with speakers
