Environmental Career and Graduate School Fair
DATE: Thursday, October 4th, 2007
TIME: 3:00pm - 6:30pm
LOCATION: Pace University, Kessel Student Center, Pleasantville, NY
The Environmental Consortium of Hudson Valley Colleges & Universities invites you to attend its first Environmental Career and Graduate School Fair <http://environmentalconsortium.org/taskforces/student/student_events.htm> . Learn about various environmentally related graduate degree programs, explore career and internship options, and meet and network with professionals in diverse fields. This event is FREE and open to all students in the region.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
· Any major! Any student with an interest in environmental issues!
· Students interested in furthering their education in an environmentally related field.
· Students looking for employment, internships, research, and volunteer opportunities.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND:
Growing awareness of the environmental concerns we face is adding urgency to the need for skilled and knowledgeable graduates who can confront the issues and take charge in implementing solutions. Students want to learn about environmental careers and education options that will help them make a difference in the world.
A panel of experts from higher education, non-profit, government and business sectors will discuss environmental career opportunities and the educational preparation you will need to take advantage of them. Then meet with representatives from graduate schools, companies and organizations to learn about specific programs, jobs, and other opportunities.
TRANSPORTATION:
Free shuttle from two Metro-North railroad stations -- visit the fair website for details and times.
