CAREER CORNER: Eye-opening expo The Skidmore Career Development
Center presented its second annual Graduate and Professional School Expo, for students and alumni, on Oct. 8. Representatives from a wide variety
of graduate programs were on hand in Case Center from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. to answer questions. Information sessions, workshops, and panel discussions that evening covered topics such as admis- sion exams and personal statements, as well as graduate programs in business and accounting, law, health care, educa- tion, social work, sustainability, the arts, and more.
A participant in last year’s expo was
Evan Friedler ’13, an economics major and government minor who co-founded the Pre-Law Society. He found that the information sessions after the fair were particularly relevant to his situation. “I
knew from the outset that I wanted to attend law school,” he says, but the CDC event “opened my eyes to a school I hadn’t considered”—and that’s the school, Boston College Law, where he is now enrolled. For him, “the fair provided the opportunity to see what graduate programs were available, in a forum that allowed for informal dia- logue and an in-depth look at the opportuni- ties.”
POSTGRADUTE STUDY OPTIONS ON DISPLAY No registration is needed for alumni
attending the annual expo or its evening events—watch for news of next year’s expo in the early fall. For a complete
listing of the CDC’s programs, re- sources, and events, visit its Web site; questions can be e-mailed to cdc@
