Abstract:

So now you've landed that great job or internship and the start date is creeping up on you. What should you do now to ensure you have a smooth start? What can you prepare in advance? What should you do during your first week or two? How about things to watch out for or avoid? What's different when everything is remote? This session will include advice from students and alums who can share their experiences and answer these questions and more.
