Columbus Connects Career Day
The Brotherhood Gives Back
The College and Career Counselors, in conjunction with the Alumni Office, hold a Columbus Connects Career Day for Explorers each spring. Students have the opportunity to speak to alumni about their chosen careers and the path they took to get there. They attend two sessions (class periods) and are welcome to speak to the alumni after presentation are done.
Each year over 35 speakers are on campus sharing information on careers ranging from law and engineering to consulting, real estate and education. We are so fortunate to have so many alumni willing to come back to Columbus to share vital career planning information with our current Explorers.
Thank you to everyone who made the 2020 Career Day one of the most successful yet!
