ANNUAL ENGAGE Event Providing Access to PBS Alumni


Friday April 22nd, 2022

 

At ENGAGE 2022, sponsored by the PBS Alumni Council, there were three concurrent panels, each hosted by a member of the PBS faculty. Alumni talked about career paths, gave advice on how to get started after graduation, and took questions from the audience. Registration was free.
 
Students who attended shared that this was an event that was very meaningful saying “I got great advice based on graduate school and what they look for when hiring for jobs. I got to hear real stories of real people and how psychology reaches so many people.”
