Career Discovery Week is not a job fair -- instead, it is a series of more than 60 panels and workshops designed to help students to explore career options, meet successful alumni, discover what to do with their college majors, and learn what they can be doing now to position themselves for today's competitive employment market. Career Discovery Week is not just for seniors, and is not a high-pressure event; students at all stages of their academic careers can come and listen to alumni and other professionals speak about their own career experiences and offer their advice for students interested in entering particular fields. Career Discovery Week panels range from Careers in Forensics to Careers in Non Profit Arts Administration. A full list follows in this message. From the web site (www.careerweek.washington.edu), students can browse through the week's schedule of events. No advance registration is required, and all panels and workshops are free. Sincerely, THE CAREER DISCOVERY WEEK STEERING COMMITTEE Susan Templeton (co-chair), Don Gallagher (co-chair), Betsy Bridwell, Jody Burns, Maureen Crawford, Vikki Haag Day, Janet Germeraad, Christina Kerr, Melanie Porter, Jim Scott, Lani Stone, Kimberly Swayze, Mary Pat Wenderoth, Melissa Wensel, and Lynda West.
