Events Related to Environmental Careers

If you are interested in an environmental career or within an environmental organization, here are some great workshops/panels you may want to attend…

This is an announcement from the School of Natural Resources Career Services ****************************************************************************************

Dear UM Students:

On October 2^nd, a campus-wide environmental career workshop that was developed in partnership with many UM schools/ programs will be held at the Palmer Commons (with one of the morning sessions at the Ford School).  We hope that many of you will be able to join us for this event!

OCTOBER 2^ND: ENVIRONMENTAL CAREER WORKSHOP--WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT?

There will be 4 sessions that provide an overview of the environmental job market in various sectors and identify key skills employers seek when hiring.  It will be a great opportunity to ask an environmental career expert your environmental career questions.  STUDENTS SHOULD SELECT ONE OF THE FOUR SESSIONS THAT MOST CLOSELY MATCHES THEIR INTEREST AREA.  <!-- D(["mb","\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/p\>\n\n\u003cp style\u003d\"margin-left:.5in\"\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"2\" face\u003d\"Calibri\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:11.0pt\"\>**The sessions will be conducted by Kevin Doyle,\nPresident of Green Economy, co-author of several environmental career books and\na 20-year veteran of the former\nEnvironmental Careers Organization.\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/p\>\n\n\u003cp\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"2\" face\u003d\"Calibri\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:11.0pt\"\> \u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/p\>\n\n\u003cp\>\u003cb\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"2\" face\u003d\"Calibri\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:11.0pt;font-weight:bold\"\>ENVIRONMENTAL CAREER PANELS\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/b\>\u003c/p\>\n\n\u003cp\>\u003cfont size\u003d\"2\" face\u003d\"Calibri\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"font-size:11.0pt\"\>In\naddition, there will be two environmental career panels (see attached agenda\nfor times and locations) with a career networking lunch in between (\u003cb\>\u003cu\>\u003cfont color\u003d\"red\"\>\u003cspan style\u003d\"color:red;font-weight:bold\"\>\u003ca href\u003d\"https://www.sitemaker.umich.edu/environmental-career-luncheon/home\" target\u003d\"_blank\" onclick\u003d\"return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)\"\>RSVPs\nare required by 9/24 for the networking lunch—CLICK HERE TO RSVP\u003c/a\>\u003c/span\>\u003c/font\>\u003c/u\>)\u003c/b\>\nto allow students to talk with panelists.
