This week, we are joined by the newest member of the Career Services family, Emily Barrale, the new Associate Director for Data Analysis and Visualization. We get to learn a little about Emily, including the work she was previously doing for the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Then we take a look at some of the career outcomes for the Class of 2018, which Emily has just compiled into a report. Enjoy!
Show Notes
There have been a lot of stories in the news this month about parents getting perhaps TOO involved in their children’s lives. When is it appropriate for a parent to get involved with their child’s career search? How can parents work with Career Services? This week, Myelene and Michael are answering all those questions and more! Enjoy!
It may seem like a distant dream, but summer is just around the corner! Students may be facing difficult decisions about taking low-paid or unpaid internships and research opportunities, and while some deadlines have passed, there are still funding opportunities available across the university. Today, Mylene and Michael discuss where you can find them and how quickly you need to act on them. Also: How DID Scrooge McDuck swim through hard currency? Enjoy!
