Alumni Event

NCSSS Homecoming Conference

Dean’s Reception: This reception is held every year at the University Club of Washington DC and is a way for alumni to reconnect with each other, as well as faculty from NCSSS.  This is an opportunity to network for career prospects and share information about the job market with fellow alumni.

Career Panel: The Career Panel is held annually for graduating students, to give them the opportunity to speak with alumni of NCSSS about their job search experience.  Alumni are invited to share the steps they have undergone in finding a job in their subspecialty following graduation, including helpful tips for the job hunt, steps taken to obtain a present job, pros and cons of working in a particular specialty, and interviewing tips and suggestions.
