2016 Midwest annual conference

2016 MIDWEST ANNUAL CONFERENCE
04/16/2016
Krannert Auditorium Room 140

      The theme of this year's annual conference focuses on career development for international students in the U.S. We invited three distinguished keynote speakers from different industries to create meaningful dialogues on topics such as job searching strategies including tips for interviews, professional self-development and career transition, and options for career development in the U.S. other than working under an H1B visa. At the panel discussion section, there will be three recent and upcoming graduates who received offers from companies like Citigroup and PwC to share their experiences and stories with the students. We also highly recommend attending our networking lunch where you can have the opportunity to sit with out speakers and exchange ideas face to face.
