Adults Don't Wear Sweatpants
Limited Capacity full
Congratulations! You have graduated and been accepted to university! Enough patting yourself on the back, its time to start thinking about the next challenge — Getting a job and/or applying to graduate school. It would be a mistake to think this process can wait for three or even four years (as too many people in your shoes believe). This seminar will provide some practical advice (born from personal experience...read "mistakes") for using your first year(s) of college as a stepping stone/foundation for those eventual applications (yes, more applications). In short, it will be part anecdotal advice about life and studies at university and part building (not writing) a resume.

Young Alumni Panels (AUS, Canada, Chile, EU countries, USA) - CANCELLED******
Would you like some key advice (and cautionary tales) from the Nido Young Alums about the transition to university? I'm sure they've got some great advice and stories about navigating dorm or apartment life, making new friends, connecting to faculty, succeeding in classes, engaging in activities, managing their social lives and generally solving problems as independent young adults either living in Chile, returning to their "home" countries or moving some place new entirely. Counselors will pose some guiding questions for the first half of the panel and then leave lots of time for questions from the Class of 2018 themselves. Young Alumni Panels will be country/region specific (AUS Canada, Chile, EU, USA).
