Career Insights
Talking Career Paths with the Barnard Community
Career Insights is an event series that happens throughout each semester, connecting students to graduates and friends of the College. Students can hear perspectives on careers, learn about the transferable skills gained in various areas of study, and practice networking and connecting with Barnard graduates (and with each other). The ambition is especially to feature topics and themes that often escape dominant narratives about careers, and highlight the diversity of graduates pursuing academic, corporate, nonprofit, artistic, and governmental trajectories. Students can read about (and register to attend) upcoming programs by logging into Handshake and exploring the Events section.
A playlist of many Career Insights events can be found on the Beyond Barnard YouTube Channel! A list of previous and forthcoming topics is included below.
