The second panel installment: "Young Professionals," was held on Tuesday, June 24th at 6pm. This panel comprised five young professionals from diverse professional backgrounds, who have recently started their careers. In their presentations and the subsequent discussions, they advised students on appropriate approaches to networking, tips for navigating the job search, the importance of hard and technical skills, and many more important topics. 

The first installment was the “Bosses” panel on Tuesday, June 17th at 6pm. Several advanced career professionals shared the traits they look for in young professionals and new hires.
