WHAT IS A CAREER EXPLORATION SUMMIT?

The Career Exploration Summit (CES) is a virtual opportunity for undergraduates to explore and engage with alumni in brand name companies across various industries.

The program will feature a series of 90-minute alumni panels across three days where students will have the opportunity to connect with alumni to explore careers while developing skills alongside a cohort of fellow Columbia students. 

Alumni panelists from creative, arts, biotech, life sciences, media, and journalism will discuss topics from the most pressing trends to what their day-to-day looks like to help you explore different career opportunities and pathways. You will also receive professional development support from CCE during the week and beyond.

 

UPCOMING CAREER EXPLORATION SUMMIT

There will be a virtual Career Exploration Summit this January 14-16, 2025.

To participate, apply by January 6, 2025 at 12:00 PM ET via LionSHARE. 

The Summit is a great opportunity over winter break before classes resume to explore pathways and launch or keep the momentum going in your career journey.

We encourage you to attend the panels for your industry(s) of interest.
