Are you considering a career in sustainability? iSEE is partnering with the Student Sustainability Committee (SSC) to bring in recent graduates to talk about their career pathways in sustainability. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions, and food will be provided! The event will be split into two sessions (5:30-6:30 and 6:30-7:30) to accommodate students who may not be able to attend the entire time. Sign up to learn more about career opportunities from these young sustainability professionals! Register >>>

The event will precede the Career Center's Hire Illini Career and Internship Fair the following day, from 1-4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 27, where you can meet employers who have a focus on sustainability!
