All presentations will be held in Peacock Hall Room 1010. The dates and topics are as follows.

All business students, regardless of major, are encouraged to join one or more sessions, as the series covers a variety of topics designed to help business students 'land the job' and prepare for a successful and fulfilling career after college. No registration is required, and there is no fee to participate. Seats are available on a first come-first served basis.
