EXTRA CREDIT: Attend another campus career event
- Due Dec 7, 2020 by 7am
- Points 1
- Submitting a file upload
(If you already completed one extra-credit assignment by attending a campus career event, good for you! These campus career events are so important that we are willing to let you double-up on this extra credit -- if you attend a second campus career event, you can get extra credit a second time by completing this assignment.) |
As a UW-Madison student you have access to a wide range of career resources right here on campus -- from obvious things like visiting a career services adviser or attending a career fair, to not-so-obvious things like leadership development through student organizations or attendance at a wide variety of guest lectures and presentations that all relate, in some way, to career goals. In this assignment you will identify and take advantage of a UW campus career resource.
Special update: Given the continuing global COVID-19 pandemic concerns, please practice "social distancing" and complete this assignment using digital communication tools such as Skype, FaceTime, Zoom, voice calling, or email -- not face-to-face, in-person meetings.

Steps to complete
1. Find another UW-Madison career fair, alumni career event, student group meeting, or departmental lecture that can help you with your career goals, and attend that event.
2. Attend this event and document your attendance in some way -- take home a flyer, get a signed "receipt," or snap a selfie.
3. Write a brief summary and reflection of the event. What did you learn? Was it stressful to participate, or did you feel confident afterwards? Would you recommend this event to another student, and why? Your reflection should be 3-4 paragraphs.
4. Upload the files documenting your participation and reflection to Canvas to get credit for this assignment.
