1:1 Alumni Chat: Gillian Lui '13 (Sustainability Consultant, Ceres)

Alumni panelists from the Thursday evening Field Guide will be available for informal one-on-one chats with students.

1:1 Alumni chats are private, one-on-one conversations, approximately 20 minutes in length.

After you attach your resume and submit, you will immediately receive an email from Handshake asking you to select a time. You must select a time slot in order to confirm your one-on-one alumni chat.
