Students of all majors are welcome to attend our Spring Symposium, “Navigating Careers in Business and Economics” with the Board of Visitors (BOV)- the Center for Business and Economics alumni advisory board that journeys back to campus each year to help students achieve their career goals.
Our twelve returning BOV members will be our guest speakers throughout the day starting at the Campus Center on Monday, March 18th.
There are three ways to participate:
- Attend a session that aligns with your interests.
