Career Options for Humanities, Social Sciences and Liberal Arts Majors

October 21st, Wednesday, 5:30 – 7:15 PM, Johnson Center, Room C

Many liberal arts students find themselves confused about what they have to 
offer and how to present their strengths to a potential employer. Join us 
for a discussion with GMU alumni who graduated from your programs. You can 
learn from their experiences what makes your majors appealing to many 
employers.
Hearing directly from alumni who have "been there," you will learn:

   * Common myths and realities associated with liberal arts/humanities 
majors

   * How to identify skills, experiences and personal qualities of interest 
to employers
