The Career & Internship Center and the UW Alumni Association are proud to co-host a series of Alumni Panels throughout the 2022-23 academic year. Each quarter, we will engage UW alumni to speak on their expertise in the following broad themes: Careers with Impact, Identity in the Workplace, & Innovation in Action. During Fall 2022, we’re excited to offer the following sessions, where students will be able to hear tips, experiences, insights and recommendations from 2-4 UW alumni. Each panel discussion will start as a moderated panel, and then move into an open Q&A with the audience. Most of our sessions throughout the year will not be recorded, so we look forward to “seeing” our participants virtually, in real-time.
