Graduate Business Career Services Update

This department has career coaches and resources available for all graduate business students and alumni. Use them! Go to their events!

Career Services has three high-level executives speaking at Master's Connection on April 9 -- two executives from Cargill and Honeywell as well as Piper Jaffray’s treasurer, who is also a board member. So, the lineup is pretty impressive.

The event is about corporate cultures and knowing what kind of culture suits you best. We will be distributing information to help attendees assess the culture of the company where they work and to help job seekers ask the right questions to figure out if a company's culture fits their needs.

Master’s Connection also presents a great opportunity to network and meet recruiters.
