Description
In this Candid Conversation (an informal mentorship event), you will hear from a representative at Ross about their experience going from university into the workforce and how they’ve set her career up for success. This is a small group setting, with a maximum of eight women students, where back and forth conversation is strongly encouraged.
This event will be held online via Zoom and attendees will receive a Starbucks gift card for attending.
