Career/Functional Panel
 2-4 alumni/professionals working in a specified career field from various companies. Each panelist will introduce themself and share their career story. No preparation needed. The majority of time will be spent on student questions. This allows students to explore various areas within one career field.

Recruiter Panel
 HR representatives and hiring managers from any industry share their perspectives and best practices for candidates. What do you really want students to know about the hiring process?  What are your expectations? (Funny stories welcome.)
DE&I Panel (topic TBD)
 Previous topic focused on best practices with Affinity Groups (how to create and manage them and their value). But we are open to exploring what you want to discuss.
Virtual Office Tour
 Provide students with a virtual view of your space  while talking about your company culture and what makes it unique. This can help students envision their futures. Show us what defines you. Show us how your company’s mission and values are evident in how and where your employees work.
