The Brown Center for Career Exploration invites you to join the Winter Break Connections Program where you will connect with PLME alum over the winter break! We know networking can be daunting, but we will take the work out of networking, and make it easy for you to connect with PLME alumni who will share personal and professional insight, advice, and expertise.
This three-week program is from January 6th - 20th, and you will connect with your alumni mentor twice over this period of time.
