In this week’s episode, you can learn all about our upcoming Clinical Volunteering Mixer from Carol Hagan, Associate Director of the Pre-Graduate & Professional School advising team. Meanwhile, Michael and Mylène talk about how to best feature volunteer experience on your resume and why volunteering is just as valuable as work experience. As usual, you also get a look at the week ahead and highlights of upcoming Career Services programs.
In this week’s podcast, hosts A. Mylène Kerschner and J. Michael DeAngelis welcome Tamara Mason, assistant for the Wharton undergraduate and Engineering teams in Career Services.
