“What do you do for a living?”

A simple question that’s often met with an equally simple response. However, at this year’s Professional Development Workshop, the Alumni Programming Committee and the Programming Committee have worked together to curate a unique experience for you to dig deep and unearth the story behind the working titles given to UVSA-Midwest’s cast of young professionals. Through a thought provoking series of icebreakers, questions, lessons, (and snacks), you can redefine your professional narrative and rediscover the roots that both you and your advisor blossomed from.

The Professional Development Workshop will be taking place at the same time as Workshop sessions, as one of the options for a session of Professional Development. If you are interested in attending this event, you will be prompted to answer a couple extra questions on the form. Graduate students and alumni of member schools will also be given the opportunity to register to be a career advisor for this event.
