Career Ideas Festival

Join the Career Center for a discussion with Gorick Ng, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of "The Unspoken Rules: Secrets to Starting Your Career Off Right." The first 25 students who attend will receive a copy of "The Unspoken Rules!"

With powerful tips and colorful vignettes of people from all walks of life, "The Unspoken Rules" is a blueprint for anyone starting their career, entering a new role, or wanting to get unstuck. Learn about practical strategies for navigating questions like:

How do I manage my time in the face of conflicting priorities?

How do I build relationships when I’m working remotely?

How do I ask for help without looking incompetent?

Our Career Ideas Festival includes the keynote address (everyone welcome!) from noon to 1 p.m., and a fireside chat (for students only) from 1 to 2 p.m.
