Event helps grad students find careers

Pew Student Services and Career Services are working together to host an event for graduate students called "Beyond Your Master's Degree: Attributes and Competencies that Employers Require, Expect, and Value."

The purpose of this event is to expose Grand Valley State University graduate students to a panel of local professionals in the non-profit, social work, criminal justice, and public/ government sectors, who can offer advice on the attributes, competencies, and experiences that employers seek when hiring candidates with Master’s degrees.

The event is scheduled for Monday, March 17, in the Loosemore Auditorium. A question and answer session with the panelists will be held from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm, with refreshments served afterwards.

Panelists include representatives from Ottawa County Friend of the Court, Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, Children's Assessment Center, City of Grand Rapids, and the Johnson Center for Philanthropy and Leadership, among others.
