It was standing room only for a College Alumni Mentoring Series event on careers in sustainability on October 13, 2022. More than 60 students eager to learn how to translate their College degrees into making a meaningful impact on the climate and sustainability spoke to College alumni from a variety of organizations from corporate to creative to agriculture, who showed the many ways to apply a liberal arts education to make a difference. Paul Sniegowski, Stephen A. Levin Family Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and a professor of biology, introduced the event.
Thanks to the alumni panel mentors who came to campus for this event!
