Join Tau Beta Pi and the Society of Women Engineers in a joint seminar on February 25th! We will begin with a 30 minute social session (details to come) followed by a 30 minute seminar by Dr. George Halow titled "Career Reacting -- and how to make the most of your time at the University of Michigan"

Seminar Synopsis
Everyone will have a career plan and path -- will you play an active role, or will you let others decide it for you? And what happens when that unique and unconventional opportunity presents itself? How will you know what decision to make?

Professor Halow brings 31 years of wide and varied industry experience. He will share his thoughts and learnings on how to take control of your career, and also react to unexpected and unique opportunities. He will also talk briefly about how to maximize your time here at the University of Michigan, and make yourself more attractive to future employers.
