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.
